Analysis of The bee, when varying flowers are nigh
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
The bee, when varying flowers are nigh,
On many a sweet will careless dwell;
Just sips their dew, and then will fly
Again to its own fragrant cell:—
Thus tho’ my heart, by fancy led,
A wanderer for a while may be,
Yet soon returning whence it fled,
It comes more fondly back to thee.
