THE SPINNER.

The spinner twisted her slender thread
AS she sat and spun;
The earth and the heavens are mine,' she said,
And the moon and sun;
Into my web the sunlight goes,
And the breath of May
And the crimson life Of the new-blown rose
That was born to-day"
The spinner sang in the hush of noon
And her song low;
All, morning YOU pass away too soon.
You swift to go
Ny heart oeriows like trimming cup
With its hopes and fears.
Love come and drink the sweetness up
Ere II turns to tears.
The spinner looked at the falling sun:
rs il time rest?

And with fingers feet.
