Round it she circles as it grows bigger, her path like the earth orbiting the sun. She orbit and spin, her path now like the Jupiter as it orbit the sun; She is weaving like Arachne making her web, waiting at a railway station. She goes forward she goes backwards, she is weaving, she goes up and down. For how long will she weave and weave? She weaves in knots she weaves in stitches. She weaves in niches she laughs in sketches; Weaving off the poetry basket She weaves like an Egyptian she crochets like an Indian She weaves with her hands, she braids with her feet Weaving like a loom she weaves like spider like a mantis. She threads with her chattering teeth, weaving sincerely the poetry basket, She weaves with her dry elbows and knees, she winds with her back She weaves with her long thigh; she twists with her bosom and long hair, Weaving boldly the poetry basket It is a reed basket, it is a bamboo basket. Until one morning a great thundering came rolling from the hills. Accompanied by a deafening whistle but no train was coming, she continued to weave, the sky thundered, the mockingbird whistled, she is weaving without fear she weaves without favour.
