"Beehive"

By Jean Toomer

___________________________________________

Within this black hive tonight

There swarm a million bees;

Bees passing in and out the moon,

Bees escaping out the moon,

Bees returning through the moon,

Silver bees intently buzzing,

Silver honey dripping from the swarm of bees

Earth is a waxen cell of the world comb,

And I, a drone,

Lying on my back,

Lipping honey,

Getting drunk with silver honey,

Wish that I might fly out past the moon

And curl forever in some far-off farmyard flower.

  1. Ask another pair of partners to compare and check your answer; discuss any disagreements.
  2. If everyone agrees that you have labeled the words properly, patiently raise your hand for the teacher to check your answers (you may have to wait for Mr. Baczkowski to check everyone's).
  3. If all of your labels are correct, click the login button and fill in the password that Mr. Baczkowski provides you.
