Spider
Gertrude Stein
Listen to me I, I am a spider,
you must not mistake me for the sky,
The sky red at night is a sailor?s delight,
the sky red in the morning
Is a sailor?s warning,
you must not mistake me for the sky,
I am I
I am a spider and in the morning any morning
I bring sadness and mourning
And at night if they see me
And at night I bring them delight,
do not mistake me
Do not mistake me for the sky,
I am I
And I know and I always tell everybody so ,
to see me at night bring them delight,
To see me in the morning, brings mourning,
and if you see me at night, and I am a sight,
Because I am dead having died up by night,
even so dead at night I still cause delight
I dead bring delight to say one who sees me at night,
and so every one can sleep tight who has seen me at night, listen to me,
I am I.
