. And wearied bear, through many an adverse gale. The spoil nectareous to my distant home ? When the tall maple blossom'd pride of trees My toil began with the first smiles of spring ; And when the buckwheat scented every breeze, Departing summer heard my restless wing. In vain, alas ! for when our work is o'er, And cells o'erflowing, all our 'cares repay, Sulphureous flames, snatched from th' infernal shore, To one lone grave shall sweep our tribe away. 85 And must we toil through summer's sul...try hours, And death, a cruel death, be our reward ? Tell, if thou canst, what crime, what fault of ours, Tyrannic man, deserves a fate so hard. For us no creatures are condemned to bleed, And lift in vain the pity-asking eye ; The flow'rets scattered o'er the verdant mead, And dews of heaven, our guiltless feast supply. 'Tis true, protection thy warm hives afford, For which a portion of our wealth be thine ; With liberal hand take of our luscious hoard- Spare, spare our lives ! our treasures we resign.
