There is a hymn from the Victorian era called "How doth the busy bee." The line continues with "improve each shining hour." I'm looking for the complete text of the verse. |

How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour, And gather honey all the day From every opening flower! The song was written by Isaac Watts. Source: John Bartlett (1820?1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919. http://www.bartleby.com/100/218.7.html A more complete version of Watts' work can be found on these pages: Children's Poems 1 http://fairytales4u.com/fable/poem01.htm The Poems in Alice in Wonderland http://www.durrant.demon.co.uk/alice/ Best wishes, Mvguy-ga Google search term: "improve each shining hour" ://www.google.com/search?q=%22improve+each+shining+hour%22&sourceid=opera&num=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 |
