One day as I roamed through the forest I came to a scraggy oak tree And bushes, all forming a deep recess, The abode of the wierd sisters three. In the center there rested a cauldron With things that might well cause alarm, And around it the witches were dancing, Chanting a wonderful charm. Please tell me, oh sisters prophetic— Quick! open your lips and foretell The destinies of my companions Who now in the East High School dwell!” Then smoke rose in wreaths from the vessel, And I shuddered with inward fear (Feahr) As in slow and hissing accents Came the words I longed to hear.
