{{smallcaps|Where}} sucks the bee now?—Summer is flying,
Leaves on the grass-plot faded are lying;
Leaves round the elm-tree faded are lying;
Violets are gone from the grassy dell,
Violets are gone from their grassy dell;
With the cowslip-cups, where the fairies dwell;
With the cowslip cups, where the fairies dwell;
The rose from the garden hath passed away—
The Rose from the garden hath passed away—
Yet happy, fair boy! is thy natal day.
Yet happy, fair Boy! is thy natal day.

Where sucks the bee now?—Summer is flying,
Leaves round the elm-tree faded are lying;
Violets are gone from their grassy dell;
With the cowslip cups, where the fairies dwell;
The Rose from the garden hath passed away—
Yet happy, fair Boy! is thy natal day.
