The bee knows,
Plunging into the butter-flower
Not into the cherry-silk one
Not into the white velvet one -
The bee dives into gold.

The dahlia knows,
Shoving its petals 
Out of its tiny pouch,
Layer upon layer upon layer,
Spreading its glory to the sun.

The seed knows,
Thrusting its tiny green shoot up,
Waving its double-strut of leaves,
It is not a Nantes carrot,
It is not a Chantenay...
It is a Danvers Half-Long.
