I dreamed I was a spider	A
A big fat hungry spider	A
A lusty rusty spider	A
With a dozen palsied limbs	B
With a dozen limbs that dangled	C
Where three wretched flies were tangled	C
And their buzzing wings were strangled	C
In the middle of their hymns	B
	-
And I mocked them like a demon	D
A demoniacal demon	D
Who delights to be a demon	D
For the sake of sin alone	E
And with fondly false embraces	F
Did I weave my mystic laces	G
Round their horror stricken faces	G
Till I muffled every groan	E
	-
And I smiled to see them weeping	H
For to see an insect weeping	H
Sadly sorrowfully weeping	H
Fattens every spider's mirth	I
And to note a fly's heart quaking	H
And with anguish ever aching	H
Till you see it slowly breaking	H
Is the sweetest thing on earth	I
	-
I experienced a pleasure	A
Such a highly flavored pleasure	A
Such intoxicating pleasure	A
That I drank of it like wine	J
And my mortal soul engages	F
That no spider on the pages	G
Of the history of ages	G
Felt a rapture more divine	J
	-
I careened around and capered	C
Madly mystically capered	C
For three days and nights I capered	C
Round my web in wild delight	C
Till with fierce ambition burning	H
And an inward thirst and yearning	H
I hastened my returning	H
With a fiendish appetite	C
	-
And I found my victims dying	H
'Ha ' they whispered 'we are dying '	-
Faintly whispered 'we are dying	H
And our earthly course is run '	-
And the scene was so impressing	H
That I breathed a special blessing	H
As I killed them with caressing	H
And devoured them one by one	D
