Here you will find the Poem The Rose and the Bee of poet Sara Teasdale

The Rose and the Bee

IF I were a bee and you were a rose, 
Would you let me in when the gray wind blows? 
Would you hold your petals wide apart, 
Would you let me in to find your heart, 
If you were a rose?

"If I were a rose and you were a bee, 
You should never go when you came to me, 
I should hold my love on my heart at last, 
I should close my leaves and keep you fast, 
If you were a bee."
