Against Idleness and Mischief by Isaac Watts.

How doth the little

busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower!

How skilfully she builds her cell!
How neat she spreads the wax!
And labours hard to store it well
With the sweet food she makes.

In works of labour or of skill
I would be busy too:
For Satan finds some mischief still
For idle hands to do.

In books, or work, or healthful play
Let my first years be past,
That I may give for every day
Some good account at last.

    It has been a cold Spring so far but finally today the sun has come out. ☀, I should be a little worried about my hay fever. 🌺🤧😁
