The Town Witch Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCDEE| Crab Faced crab tongued with deep set eyes that glared | A |
| Unfriendly and unfriended lived the crone | B |
| Upon the common in her hut alone | B |
| Past which but seldom any villager fared | A |
| Some said she was a witch and rode wild haired | A |
| To devils' revels on her hearth's rough stone | B |
| A fiend sat ever with gaunt eyes that shone | B |
| A shaggy hound whose fangs at all were bared | A |
| So one day when a neighbour's cow had died | C |
| And some one's infant sickened good men shut | D |
| The crone in prison dragged to court and tried | C |
| Then hung her for a witch and burnt her hut | D |
| Days after on her grave all skin and bones | E |
| They found the dog and him they killed with stones | E |
