Weaving the Web.

This morn l will weave my web, )" she said
As she stood by her loom in the rosy
light,
And her young eyes, hopefully, glad and
clear,
Followed after the swallows fight,
Gas soon as the days first task is done,
While yet am fresh and strong" said
she,
i will hasten to weave the beautiful web
Whose pattern is known to none but me
II will weave it fine, will weave it fair,
And all how the colors will glow " she
said
so fadeless and strong l will weave my
web
That perhaps it will live after am dead
But the morning hours sped on apace,
The air grew sweet with the breath of
June;
And young love hid by the waiting loom,
Tangling the threads ss she hummed a
tune.
" All life is so rich and full" she cried.
"And morn is short, though the days are
ong
This noon l will weave my beautiful web
l will weave it carefully fine and strong"
But the sun rose high in the cloudless sky :
The burden and heat of the day she bore.
And hither and thither she came and went,
While the loom stood still as it stood be-
fore.
&" All! life is too busy at noon," She
said:
My web must wait till eyentide,
Till the common work of day is done,
And my heart grows calm in the silence
wide ~
So one by one, the hours passed on,
Till the creeping shadows had longer
grown,
Till the house was still, and the breezes
slept,
And the singing birds to their nest had
f1own,
" And now | will weave my web" she
said
As she turned to her loom ere set of sun,
And laid her hand on the shining threads
To set them in order, one by one.
But hand was tired, and heart was weak;
81 am not as strong as 1 was" sighed she,
And the pattern was blurred, and the col
ors rare,
Are not so bright, or SO fair to see
81 must wait, l think, till another morn;
go to my rest, with my work undone.
1t is growing too dark to weave" she cried,
AS lower and lower sank the sun
She dropped the shuttle, the loom stood
still
The weaver slept in the twilight gray :.
Dear heart viii she weave her beautiful
web
In the golden light of longer day =?
