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.
