The Gypsy Moth

skilfully woven the pattern forchosen

so that those that come close might adhere

moving without care that a hunter should lurk there

the gypsy knows nothing of fear

falling and lifting, painfully drifting

climbing up to meet the glowing claw

behind the fire, there hides a spider

waiting for the gypsy moth

may the lantern's glass shield her

from the inviting ember

and if ever a spider she should meet

let the bright light of goodness

bring the lightness of forgiveness

for to a spider, there's nothing so sweet

falling and lifting, painfully drifting

climbing up to meet the glowing claw

behind the fire, there hides a spider

waiting for the gypsy moth
