A noiseless patient spider，

I mark'd where on a little promontory¹ it stood isolated²，

Mark'd how to explore the vacant vast surrounding，

It launch'd forth³ filament⁴， filament， filament， out of itself，

Ever unreeling them， ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand，

Surrounded， detached， in measureless oceans of space，

Ceaselessly musing⁵， venturing， throwing， seeking the spheres to connect them，

Till the bridge you will need be form'd， till the ductile⁶ anchor hold，

Till the gossamer⁷ thread you fling catch somewhere， O my soul.
