spider - Popular Poems and stories from category

Once I loved a spider  When I was born a fly,  A velvet-footed spider  With a gown of rainbow-dye
She ate my wings and gloated
She bound me with a hair
She drove me to her parlor  Above her winding stair

"Oh, look at that great ugly spider
" said Ann;
And screaming, she brush'd it away with her fan; "'Tis a frightful black creature as ever can be,
I wish that it would not come crawling on me

I saw the spiders marching through the air, Swimming from tree to tree that mildewed day In latter August when the hay Came creaking to the barn
But where The wind is westerly, Where gnarled November makes the spiders fly Into the apparitions...

Will there be time for eggnogs and eclogues In the place where we’re going
Said the spider to the fly
I think not, said the fly
I think not, sang the chorus

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
