A June Octette

The fiddle-bug fiddled, and the June Bug sung,

     And the Beetle beat the time;

The Tree-toad joined the trio then,

     And they played an air sublime.

The lark was out for a sky-lark, too,

     And the Horn-bug blew his horn;

The Locust sang, and Katy Did,

     And a June Octette was born
