| Concealed their grim faces | A |
| Though I heard them lamenting for many a mile | J |

| I saw three witches | A |
| Asleep in a valley | B |
| Their heads in a row like stones in a flood | K |
| Till the moon creeping upward | L |
| Looked white through the valley | B |
| And turned them to bushes in bright scarlet bud | K |
