The Messenger Lyrics by Deems Taylor

Three Songs, Op. 13

0

Bee! tell me whence do you come?
Ten fields away, twenty perhaps
Have heard your hum
If you are from the north, you may
Have passed my mother's roof of straw
Upon your way
If you came from the south, you should
Have seen another cottage just
Inside the wood
And should you go back that way, please
Carry a message to the house
Among the trees
Say -- I will wait her at the rock
Beside the stream, this very night
At eight o'clock
And ask your queen when you get home
To send my queen the present of
A honeycomb
