Flower [and the Bee]

Oh, beautiful flower in the meadow
Your fragrance is so intoxicating
It lingers for a while like an echo
An aroma so pure and alluring

Oh, beautiful flower in the meadow
Your sweet nectar is very narcotic
Like ambrosia to gods of long ago
A heavenly taste of honeyed tonic

Oh, beautiful flower in the meadow
Stunning you are as you sway with the wind
Ever exquisite in the morning glow
Or even as you dance amidst the rain

Beyond enchanting, so lovely to see
You captured the heart of this friendly bee
