Wax seal charm with a bee and motto "We may [BEE] happy yet". Antique wax seal jewelry in solid bronze with apiary theme.
The words framing this piece reads:
We May (BEE) Happy Yet
O, smile as thou wert wont to smile,
before the weight of care
Had crushed thy heart, and for a while
left only sorrow there;
Some thoughts perchance ‘twere best to quell,
some impulse to forget,
O’er which should mem’ry cease to dwell,
we may be happy yet.
O, never name departed days,
nor vows you whispered then,
Round which too sad a feeling plays
to trust their tones again;
Regard their shadows round thee cast,
As if we ne’er had met,
And thus, unmindful of the past,
We may be happy yet.
(written by Alfred Bunn, England, in 1844)
The antique wax seal used for making this charm dates back to the mid 1800’s, it originates from England.
