| 1 | My banks they are furnished with bees, Whose murmur invites one to sleep. | Shenstone | William |
| 2 | Here their delicious task the fervent bees In swarming millions tend: around, athwart, Through the soft air, the busy nations fly, Cling to the bud, and with inserted tube, Suck its pure essence, its ethereal soul; And oft, with bolder wing, they soaring dare The purple heath, or where the wild thyme grows, And yellow load them with the luscious spoil. | Thomson | James |
| 3 | Inebriate of air am I, And debauchee of dew, Reeling, through endless summer days, From inns of molten blue. | Dickinson | Emily |
| 4 | O'er folded blooms On swirls of musk, The beetle booms adown the glooms And bumps along the dusk. | Riley | J.W. |
| 5 | I'd be a butterfly, born in a bower, Where roses and lilies and violets meet. | Bayley | Thomas |
| 6 | Rose suddenly a swarm of butterflies, On wings of white and gold and azure fire; And one said: "These are flowers that seek the skies, Loosed by the spell of their supreme desire." | Roberts | C.G.D. |
| 7 | So, naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em; And so proceed _ad infinitum_. | Swift | Jonathan |
| 8 | I saw a flie within a beade Of amber cleanly buried. | Herrick | Robert |
| 9 | Oh! that the memories which survive us here Were half so lovely as these wings of thine! Pure relics of a blameless life, that shine Now thou art gone. | Turner | Charles |
| 10 | When evening closes Nature's eye, The glow-worm lights her little spark To captivate her favorite fly And tempt the rover through the dark. | Montgomery | James |
