The Spinning Woman of the Sky
Alice Corbin
1881 to 1949
I have heard the spinning woman of the sky,
Who sings as she spins,
No one knows where my web ends,
Or where it begins.
For the thin-spun, glistening, silver thread
Out of her breast is drawn,
And her white feet caught in the silver web,
Through dark and dawn.
Weary of time and the spinning,
She sings as she spins,
I do not know where my web ends,
Or where it begins.
