from THE BROOMSTICK TRAIN
circa 1858By Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894)
Look out! Look out, boys! Clear the track!
The witches are here! they've all come back!
They hanged them high, -- No use! No use!
What cares a witch for the hangman's noose?
They buried them deep, but they wouldn't lie still,
For cats and witches are hard to kill;
They swore they wouldn't and shouldn't die, --
Books said they did, but they lie! they lie!
