Oh Orb of exquisite beauty, who fashioned you? Who
Strung you with the stars of the night and the suns
Of the day? Diamonds, rubies and pearls of priceless
Beauty, all threaded on elements of transparent silver,
Finer than the finest hair that adorns the head of any
Maid.
Your beauty enhanced by the dews of the morning,
Which added freely many such precious gems.
A thing of beauty to adorn the slim neck of a delightsome
Girl?
Not so, for you were fashioned to adorn the hedge and grass
And tree. For she who created you gave no thought to
Your beauty, only to the purpose for which she would
Spend laborious hours in perfecting you so that she might
Live another day.
Spinnerets converging to make the strongest of silks
To bind in perfect form, that which will ensnare the unwary,
And in the centre of her creation she waits patiently.
