Poor Spider! Engineered her nets
To cast among the eaves –
And now her silk supports the nests
Of enterprising thieves!
A Roguish Bird with yellow smock
And beak like crooked spear
Crept up upon the wing and took
His pick of all her gear –
Poor Spider! Crawling home to scour
Her bastion torn to shreds –
She sets to task , and in the hour,
Hangs dew-kissed curtained webs!
