4. Spider Webs
James S. Tippet
The spiders were busy last night
From every fence and tree
They hung their lacy webs
For all the world to see.
The mist was busy too;
In the stillness of the night
It strung the spider webs with pearls
To catch the morning light.
One spider wove a web
Like frost on a window pane;
Another one spun a single thread
That looks like jeweled chain.
Motionless hang the webs,
By the quiet sunbeam kissed;
A fairy world was made last night
By the spiders and the mist.
5. What did the spiders do

to my ears.
