Little, speedy hummingbird,
Dashing place to place,
And all I see,
A smear of green,
Zipping by my face.

Little, shiny hummingbird,
Always flashing by,
Your colors bright,
Catch the light,
Glinting low and high.

Little, hungry hummingbird,
Flitting by do fast,
Dewdrops fall,
From flowers tall,
You sip from as you pass.

Then little, tired hummingbird,
Perch upon a twig,
Wings quit swooping,
Eyelids dropping,
Dream of growing big.
