English Poem “The Witch” of poet Adelaide Crapsey complete poem with summery for Students.

The Witch

Adelaide Crapsey

When I was girl by Nilus stream

I watched the deserts stars arise;

My lover, he who dreamed the Sphinx,

Learned all his dreaming from eyes.

I bore in Greece a burning name,

And I have been in Italy

Madonna to a painter-lad,

And mistress to a Medici.

And have you heard (and I have heard)

Of puzzled men with decorous mien,

Who judged – the wench knew far too much 

And burnt her on the Salem green?
