Elinor Wylie (1885-1928)
WITCHES
Green eyes, gold hair, great beauty,
Have witches while they're girls,
Or dark eyes soft and sooty,
Bright lips and cloudy curls.
Though this one looks like Helen,
And that one looks like Eve,
They'll slice your heart like a melon
With never a by-your-leave.
So mind your mother and daddy
And do as you are told,
Or the wictches will gobble you up, my lad,
When they are starved and old.
