Passion Flowers (Watson)/Arachne

​

Arachne.
She lives in the garden beneath a rose, And "receives" in the shade of a lily;The grasses bend to her silken touch, And so does the daffy-down-dilly.Her hammock swings from the violet's tips, Their purple coverlets hide her;She bathes herself in the dew of their lips, How dainty she is—the spider.
