THISTLEDOWN: 3, by                    
First Line: There's a bird beneath your window
Last Line: Is the mesh to hold your heart.


THERE's a bird beneath your window;
There's a sunbeam that slips in;
There's a rose-bush in your garden
Where a spider learns to spin.

And we're all in league against you—
Bird and rose and gold sun-dart—
And the web the spider's spinning
Is the mesh to hold your heart.
