There is a poem, "Good Company" (text below). Anyone know who wrote it or where it is from?

Question

"Good Company"

I sleep in a room at the top of the house

With a flea and a fly and a soft-scratching mouse,

And a spider who hangs on a thread from the ceiling,

Who gives me each day such a curious feeling

When I watch him at work on his beautiful weave

Of his web that’s so fine, I can hardly believe,

It won’t all end up in such terrible tangles,

For he sways as he weaves, and spins as he dangles.

I cannot get up to that spider, I know,

And I hope he won’t get down to me here below,

And yet, when I wake in the chill morning air,

I’d miss him if he were not still swinging there,

For I have in my room such good company,

There’s him, and the mouse and the fly and the flea.
