It echoes round,first far, then near
The mountains tremble with the sound
The animals all run underground

A river of water rushes by
Yet not a raincloud in the sky
It comes from deep inside the wood
I'd go and look there, if I could

But in the wood there lives a witch
A woman with an evil twitch
She has the spells to say a verse
That will surround you with a curse

A little doe stands by a tree
He lifts his head and looks at me
Please help the lady, he implores
Into the silence, between roars

Very slowly, I walk in
Move towards that awful din
Where it comes from,I know not
Then I find the very spot

A lady, old, sits by the fire
Noise of wails gets even higher
What is it witch, what can I do ?
What is it makes you feel so blue

She lifts her face and wipes a tear
I've cast these spells for many a year
But I am sad and all alone
No one dares come near my home

Come on now witch,please don't be sad
Being good is not so bad
Helping others is the key
Raise a smile and you'll be free

She lifts her head and smiles at me
A fairy flies out from a tree
She kisses lady on the hand
And sprinkles her with grains of sand

A puff of smoke and there she stands
Beauty queen of fairyland
In a forest, not a wood
No more evil, only good [comments] => 3 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 40 [informant] => gwenevere [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 17 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fantasy ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Witches Tears

What is that noise,what can I hear?
