ike nursery children you have lookedFor ancient hag and snaggle-tooth;But no, not so; the witch appearsIn all the glowing charms of youth. Her lips are like carnations, red,Her face like new-born lilies, fair,Her eyes like ocean waters, blue, She moves with subtle grace and air,And all about her head there floatsThe golden glory of her hair.
