    Etymology: from spire.

    Waste sandy valleys, once perplex’d with thorn,
    The spiry firr, and shapely box adorn. Alexander Pope, Messiah.

    In these lone walls, their days eternal bound,
    These moss-grown domes with spiry turrets crown’d,
    Where awful arches make a noon-day night,
    And the dim windows shed a solemn light;
    Thy eyes diffus’d a reconciling ray,
    And gleams of glory brighten’d all the day. Alexander Pope.

    Hid in the spiry volumes of the snake,
    I lurk’d within the covert of a brake. Dryden.
