THE SPIDER WEB.
(By Klenimr Mi-Kinnon. Mount Eden.) Above the grasses green and tender, A spider slung his threads so slender, Upon a teatree flower. To the frame there clung the dew, And as his frail house slowly grew It formed a tempting bower. The npidor sat there, smug and small, Before his arched entrance hall, Awaiting there a moal. Awaiting for a fly, big—fat. To stand just where the spider sat, And find the threads were steel.
