A poem by H. W. Parker published in the American Whig Review in January 1847. The speaker watches carpet-weavers at their looms, then uses the warp, woof, shuttle and finished web as extended metaphors for the soul, memory, thought and the course of a human life. It is literary verse, not technical weaving instruction.
