You would learn the witches’ secret rite?
Then I will light their lanterns just for you tonight,
And I will tell you of the witches’ simple rite.

Ah cows’ exuberant udderliness,
humanness, quiescentness,
ah Finnish horses’ trusty horsiness,
and foxcubs’ frisky foxiness,

hazelhens’ henness, snakes’ snakiness,
ah far-off-ness of quaky autumn, and its headachiness!
