The Swarm

The fresh air sang after the storm
all was washed clean by the rain
the insects all started to swarm

Made people duck as they reform
they had made a very long train
the fresh air sang after the storm

They were buzzing as they reformed
the new hive now them would sustain
the insects all started to swarm

All snug now their honey would form
this hive would be their new domain
the fresh air sang after the storm

The combs of honey multiform
the happy humming quite insane
the insects all started to swarm

they are so happy to be warm
yet so many were lost or slain
the fresh air sang after the storm
the insects all started to swarm
