8th std 2nd language english 2nd poem The little busy bee How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour; And gather honey all the day From every opening flower! How skillfully she builds her cell! How neatly she spreads her wax, And labours hard to store it well With the sweet food she makes! In work of labour or of skill I would be busy too; For satan finds some mischief still For idle hands to do. In books or work or healthful play, Let my first years be passed, That I may give for every day, Some good account at last. - Issac Watts
