Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE GHIH CJKJ| I met a witch with amber eyes | A |
| Who slowly sang a scarlet rune | B |
| Shifting to an icy laughter | C |
| Like the laughter of the moon | B |
| - | |
| Red as a wanton's was her mouth | D |
| And fair the breast she bade me take | E |
| With a word that clove and clung | F |
| Burning like a furnace flake | E |

| But from her bright and lifted bosom | G |
| When I touched it with my hand | H |
| Came the many needled coldness | I |
| Of a glacier taken land | H |
| - | |
| And lo the witch with eyes of amber | C |
| Vanished like a blown out flame | J |
| Leaving but the lichen eaten | K |
| Stone that bore a blotted name | J |
