THE SPIDER WEB, by                    
First Line: To-night I am very happy
Last Line: I have taken long in the spinning.
Subject(s): Insects; Spiders; Weariness; Bugs; Fatigue


TO-NIGHT I am very happy;
As happy as the spider
Who succeeds after many attempts
In reaching the door-post with his silken thread.
They tell me I cannot live till morning.
The thread of my soul will reach at last
The other half of me,
Who has waited so long on the other side.
Is she weary?
I have taken long in the spinning.
