+{{LinkText|Where the bee sucks}}
-	Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
-	In a cowslip's bell I lie;
-	There I couch when owls do cry.
-	On the bat's back I do fly
-	After summer merrily.
-	Merrily, merrily shall I live now
-	Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.}}

-{{Translation|German|
-Wo die Biene saugt, saug’ ich,
-im Schoß der Primul lagr’ ich mich,
-dort schlaf ich, wenn die Eule schreit,
-ich flieg’, in steter Munterkeit,
-fern von des Winters Ungemach
-dem angenehmen Sommer nach,
-wie fröhlich wird künftig
-mein Aufenthalt sein
-unter den Blüten im duftenden Hain!}}
