The Crown-flower queen,

In robes of lilac blue With her stems of attendants, And Bees, around her head. The little bees are glad, For they know that she is good, And the Crown-flower is happy, In their neighborhood Together they endure In harmony and peace. The crown herself is crowned By her golden bees.
