The Bees from Yonder Hills of Kade
by J. Randal Matheny © 2015
A Vedda honeycomb cutter's folk song, Sri Lanka
The bees from yonder hills of Kade
Suck nectar from the native flowers,
They hive and build the honeycomb,
Colony humming in constant movement.
What wonders they work in the perilous wild!
So, when you cut the empty comb,
In mindless search of missing sweets,
Why add to their labors extra pain?
