THE WEAVING OF THE WING.

BY RALPH HODGSON.
Her seas and mountains mace,
Her skiey labors done,
A new design was hers.
She called a sprite and said
Go up into the sun
And draw me gosSamers.
He brought a hundred STRANDS,
Sun-yellow, TO her hands.
She called her weaverS up;
A wild burst into bloom;
Above a flaming whin
She hung a shallow cup,
Her ,yeavers and her loom
And silk she laid therein,
Then turned and kept her way
An econ and a day.
As down the wild 1 came,
This noisy noon Of spring,
I tapped a knotted spray
Above a whin a1iame
And saw a tiny wing,
Sun-yellow, slip away.
NV hand and eye confessed
A brood deserted nest.
| let my lips rejoice,
/ cried The work is done"
And praised her weaver's skill;
Thereat ] heard voice:
THE work is but begun,
nv WeaVerS labor still,
Not yet the warp and woof
Look in the nest again"
| deeper looked therein;
/ saw her silk Of sun,
Her loom and weavers plain;
] heard a muffied din
And knew a web begun
The warp and woof whereof
At last she will approve.
Az, this / surely know:
An 4on and a day
From this, the crown of spring,
AS down the wild | go
I'll tap that knotted spray
And start d yellow wing
"The work is done" I'll hear
And let my lips rejoice.
as done" I'll echo there
The universal Voice.
