The spider, dropping down from twig, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unwinds a thread of his devising: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thin, premeditated rig<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use in rising<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And all the journey down through space,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cool descent, and loyal-hearted,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He builds a ladder to the place<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From which he started<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This I, gone forth, as spiders do, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spider’s web a truth discerning,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attach one silken stand to you<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my returning<\/p>\n\n\n\n
