Spinning Song
There are seven that pull the thread.
One lives under the waves,
And one where the winds are wove,
And one in the old gray house
Where the dew is made before dawn;
One lives in the house of the sun,
And one in the house of the moon,
And one lives under the boughs
Of the golden apple tree;
One lives under the waves,
And one where the winds are wove,
And one in the old gray house
Where the dew is made before dawn;
One lives in the house of the sun,
And one in the house of the moon,
And one lives under the boughs
Of the golden apple tree;
And one spinner is lost.
Holiest, holiest seven,
Holiest, holiest seven,
Put all your power on the thread
I have spun in the house this night!
I have spun in the house this night!
– W.B. Yeats (1901)
