One clover, and a bee,
And revery.

If bees are few." - Emily Dickinson

The Pleasure of the Bee

 "Go to your fields and your gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower, But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life, And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love, And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy."
 
~Khalil Gibran, Bsharri, Lebanon, Quote from 'The Prophet' Chapter 24, Pleasure
