Adelaide Crapsey - The Witch
Work rating: Low

When I was girl by Nilus stream 

I watched the deserts stars arise; 

My lover, he who dreamed the Sphinx, 

Learned all his dreaming from eyes. 


I bore in Greece a burning name, 

And I have been in Italy 

Madonna to a painter-lad, 

And mistress to a Medici. 


And have you heard (and I have heard) 

Of puzzled men with decorous mien, 

Who judged — the wench knew far too much — 

And burnt her on the Salem green?
