There was a wood, a witches' wood,
:There was a wood, a witches' wood,
All the trees therein were pale;
:All the trees therein were pale;
They bore no branches green and good
:They bore no branches green and good
But as it were a gray nun's veil.
:But as it were a gray nun's veil.


:They talked and chattered in the wind
They talked and chattered in the wind
:From morning dawn to set of sun,
From morning dawn to set of sun,
:Like men and women that have sinned,
Like men and women that have sinned,
:Whose thousand evil tongues are one.
Whose thousand evil tongues are one.


:Their roots were like the hands of men,
Their roots were like the hands of men,
:Grown hard and brown with clutching gold,
Grown hard and brown with clutching gold,
:Their foliage women's tresses
Their foliage women's tresses
:When the hair is withered, thin and old.
When the hair is withered, thin and old.


:There never did a sweet bird sing.
There never did a sweet bird sing.
:For happy love about his nest.
For happy love about his nest.
:The clustered bats on evil wing
The clustered bats on evil wing
:Each hollow trunk and bough possessed.
Each hollow trunk and bough possessed.


:And in the midst a pool there lay
And in the midst a pool there lay
:Of water white, as thou' a scare
Of water white, as thou' a scare
:Had frightened off the eye of day
Had frightened off the eye of day
:And kept the Moon reflected there.
And kept the Moon reflected there.}}

There was a wood, a witches' wood,
All the trees therein were pale;
They bore no branches green and good
But as it were a gray nun's veil.

They talked and chattered in the wind
From morning dawn to set of sun,
Like men and women that have sinned,
Whose thousand evil tongues are one.

Their roots were like the hands of men,
Grown hard and brown with clutching gold,
Their foliage women's tresses
When the hair is withered, thin and old.

There never did a sweet bird sing.
For happy love about his nest.
The clustered bats on evil wing
Each hollow trunk and bough possessed.

And in the midst a pool there lay
Of water white, as thou' a scare
Had frightened off the eye of day
And kept the Moon reflected there.
