SPIDER-WEBS Wheels that fairies might have made lit the winter’s night, Spun with diamonds on the strands They catch the morning light. Rut the spider spun lus web Nut to catch the dew. But to trap unwary insects On their pass ng through. There are human spiders also Weaving webs that deck Luring on with all that glitters’ Care naught who they wreckOne. rough touch, the diamonds vanish Leaving bare dull thread; Slain the sham and pass tho spider, Never linger, ye who tread.
