Yellow butterflies,
Over the blossoming virgin corn,
    With pollen-painted faces
Chase one another in brilliant throng.

    Blue butterflies,
Over the blossoming virgin beans,
    With pollen-painted faces
Chase one another in brilliant streams.

    Over the blossoming corn,
    Over the virgin corn
Wild bees hum!

    Over the blossoming beans,
    Over the virgin beans
Wild bees hum!

Over your field of growing-corn
    All day shall hang the thunder-cloud;
Over your field of growing corn
    All day shall come the rushing rain.
