[hometext] => This is a poem about the death of a suspected witch during the Salem Witch Trials.
[bodytext] => Up and down, all around she scurried
"Burn her! Burn her!" they would never leave She knew they would eventually find her For tomorrow night, was all Hallows Eve As she ran she could get no further The angry mob had cornered her well They poked and hit and kicked and beat her "Send that witch back down to hell!" "What if instead we were to drown her?" A man with a flaming torch called "Throw her in the river and test her!" The town's mob cackled and mauled Tying her up, they dragged her over To the nearest pond they could find "I'm innocent" She shouted to them She hoped they would see this in her mind "Throw her in" and this they did She sunk low for a minute or two When she didn't float, they heard her spirit say "I was innocent, you knew I was too" [comments] => 2 [counter] => 235 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Wilder [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
