Chapter 10

Witch!

Witch!

Ashes of me,Whirl in the fires I may not name.Lick, lovely flame!Will the fagot not burn?Throw on the tired broomStabled still in my room.I have ridden wide and well.Shall I say with whom?(Stop the town bell!)Listen now,Listen now if you dare:I have lain with hopeUnder the dreadful bough,I have suckled Judas’ ropeAs it swung on the air—Go find the silver pieces in the moon.I hid them there.

Ashes of me,

Whirl in the fires I may not name.

Lick, lovely flame!

Will the fagot not burn?Throw on the tired broomStabled still in my room.

Will the fagot not burn?

Throw on the tired broom

Stabled still in my room.

I have ridden wide and well.Shall I say with whom?(Stop the town bell!)

I have ridden wide and well.

Shall I say with whom?

(Stop the town bell!)

Listen now,Listen now if you dare:I have lain with hopeUnder the dreadful bough,I have suckled Judas’ ropeAs it swung on the air—

Listen now,

Listen now if you dare:

I have lain with hope

Under the dreadful bough,

I have suckled Judas’ rope

As it swung on the air—

Go find the silver pieces in the moon.I hid them there.

Go find the silver pieces in the moon.

I hid them there.
