Once I loved a spider
  When I was born a fly,
  A velvet-footed spider
  With a gown of rainbow-dye.
  She ate my wings and gloated.
  She bound me with a hair.
  She drove me to her parlor
  Above her winding stair.
  To educate young spiders
  She took me all apart.
  My ghost came back to haunt her.
  I saw her eat my heart.
