The Mother-of-Toads
Has many abodes
On land & in the water.
On a small moist isle

She left me forlorn
For she’d swum off to spawn
& the Heron-God had caught her.

“I have a deadly nightshade
So twisted does it grow
With berries black as midnight
And a skull as white as snow
The vicar’s cocky young son
Came to drink my tea
He touched me without asking
Now he’s buried ‘neath a tree.”

Trad. “Girls’ Skipping Rhyme” from Chokely in Wynterset
