Spider, spinning in the sun,
Hope is done;
Why with weary webs of care
And time interminably spun
Still snare
The creeping worm despair?

Spider spinning in the night
Shadows gray,
Weaving threads of dreams and dew
That the low-hung moon shines through,
Ah, pray,
Spider, spinning in the night,
Catch me the winged moth delight
That flies no more by day!
