Weavers All

Topics: classic

Warp and Woof and Tangle,--     Weavers of Webs are we.     Living and dying--and mightier dead,     For the shuttle, once sped, is sped--is sped;--     Weavers of Webs are we.     White, and Black, and Hodden-gray,--     Weavers of Webs are we.     To every weaver one golden strand     Is given in trust by the Master-Hand;--     Weavers of Webs are we.     And that we weave, we know not,--     Weavers of Webs are we.     The threads we see, but the pattern is known     To the Master-Weaver alone, alone;--     Weavers of Webs are we.
