Lyrics: Anon
From flow'r to flow'r, with eager pains,
See the bless'd busy lab'rer fly,
When all that from her toil she gains
Is in the sweets she hoards to die.
'Tis thus, would man the truth believe,
With life's soft sweets, each fav'rite joy:
If we taste wisely they relieve,
But if we plunge too deep, destroy.
From flow'r to flow'r, with eager pains,
See the bless'd busy lab'rer fly,
When all that from her toil she gains
Is in the sweets she hoards to die.
'Tis thus, would man the truth believe,
With life's soft sweets, each fav'rite joy:
If we taste wisely they relieve,
But if we plunge too deep, destroy.
