When nightfall comes he builds it anew;
That fabulous orb, bejeweled with dew.
As the spider’s web, so the dream of man
Intricate, trembling, a breakable plan.
As each night falls he builds once more,
Stronger, firmer than ever before.
The night dew forms, the chill wind sighs,
His dream holds fast until he dies.
