As Lucy went a walking one morning cold and fine	A
There sate three crows upon a bough and three times three is nine	A
Then O said Lucy in the snow it's very plain to see	B
A witch has been a walking in the fields in front of me	B
	-
Then stept she light and heedfully across the frozen snow	C
And plucked a bunch of elder twigs that near a pool did grow	C
And by and by she comes to seven shadows in one place	D
Stretched black by seven poplar trees against the sun's bright face	D
	-
She looks to left she looks to right and in the midst she sees	E
A little pool of water clear and frozen 'neath the trees	E
Then down beside its margent in the crusty snow she kneels	E
And hears a magic belfry a ringing with sweet bells	E
	-
	-
	-
Clear sang the faint far merry peal then silence on the air	F
And icy still the frozen pool and poplars standing there	F
Then lo as Lucy turned her head and looked along the snow	C
She sees a witch a witch she sees come frisking to and fro	C
	-
Her scarlet buckled shoes they clicked her heels a twinkling high	G
With mistletoe her steeple hat bobbed as she capered by	G
But never a dint or mark or print in the whiteness for to see	E
Though danced she high though danced she fast though danced she lissomely	H
	-
It seemed 'twas diamonds in the air or little flakes of frost	I
It seemed 'twas golden smoke around or sunbeams lightly tossed	I
It seemed an elfin music like to reeds and warblers rose	E
Nay Lucy said it is the wind that through the branches flows	E
	-
And as she peeps and as she peeps 'tis no more one but three	E
And eye of bat and downy wing of owl within the tree	E
And the bells of that sweet belfry a pealing as before	J
And now it is not three she sees and now it is not four	J
	-
O who are ye sweet Lucy cries that in a dreadful ring	K
All muffled up in brindled shawls do caper frisk and spring	K
A witch and witches one and nine they straight to her reply	H
And looked upon her narrowly with green and needle eye	H
	-
Then Lucy sees in clouds of gold green cherry trees up grow	C
And bushes of red roses that bloomed above the snow	C
She smells all faint the almond boughs blowing so wild and fair	F
And doves with milky eyes ascend fluttering in the air	F
	-
Clear flowers she sees like tulip buds go floating by like birds	E
With wavering tips that warbled sweetly strange enchanted words	E
And as with ropes of amethyst the boughs with lamps were hung	L
And clusters of green emeralds like fruit upon them clung	L
	-
O witches nine ye dreadful nine O witches seven and three	E
Whence come these wondrous things that I this Christmas morning see	E
But straight as in a clap when she of Christmas says the word	M
Here is the snow and there the sun but never bloom nor bird	M
	-
Nor warbling flame nor gleaming rope of amethyst there shows	E
Nor bunches of green emeralds nor belfry well and rose	E
Nor cloud of gold nor cherry tree nor witch in brindle shawl	H
But like a dream that vanishes so vanished were they all	H
	-
When Lucy sees and only sees three crows upon a bough	N
And earthly twigs and bushes hidden white in driven snow	C
Then O said Lucy three times three is nine I plainly see	E
Some witch has been a walking in the fields in front of me	E
