Penelope sits at her loom,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unraveling at night<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 what she has woven by day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darkness fills the room,<\/strong><\/p>\n

As she collects the threads<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 which keep her suitors at bay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perpetually doing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 but never quite done,<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is her art of delay.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever she awaits the return<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 of her true one\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unraveling at night <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 what she has woven by day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Penelope may tell her suitors lies,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unraveling at night<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 what she has woven by day;<\/strong><\/p>\n

But she is far more guiling<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 than she is wise,<\/strong><\/p>\n

And they will hear but what they hope she will say.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Her words are paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 she folds into shapes<\/strong><\/p>\n

To persuade her suitors she may wish to stay,<\/strong><\/p>\n

But that is a maze from which<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 only she escapes,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unraveling at night <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 what she has woven by day. <\/strong><\/p>\n
