before.
‘Twas the night’fore Hallowe’en, and all through the
house
Not a creature was stirring, ’cept a bat and a mouse;
The pumpkins were cut with weird faces to scare
Any visitors that might just venture there;
The children were nestled all warm in their beds,
While visions of goblins danced in their heads;
And mom in her rollers, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a snug autumn nap,
When outside the house there arose such a wind,
I jumped from my bed to see what caused the din.
Away to the window I stumbled and moaned,
Tore open the curtains and threw up the storm.
The full moon on the naked branches and mud
Gave eerie shapes to the shadows and stuff
When, what to my watering eyes should appear,
But a corn stalk broom and a cat, black as could be,
With a little driver, so evil and thin
I knew in a moment it must be a witch.

More rapid than a jet her broom it came,
And she screeched, and howled, and called rats by
name;
‘Now Troller! Now, Franken! Now, Jekyll and Hyde!
On, Goblin! On, Coffin! On, Ghosts up so high!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall,
Get away, Get away, Get away all! ’
Like the wind that whistled ‘round the crickety house.
The skies were all black, and the cat chased the mouse;
So up to the housetop the broom it fast flew
With the black cat on the back and Witchie-poo, too.

And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The thud of her broom, the bound of her boots;
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney she came with a swooshing sound.
She was dressed all in black from her head to her foot
And her clothes were all covered with ashes and soot;
A big old kettle she had slung on her back,
And a ladle for stirring she drew from a sack.
Her eyes - how they squinted; her skin - how it cracked;
Her cheeks were so hollow, her nose it was flat!
Her dry little mouth was drawn up like a prune,
The square of her chin was like a log newly-hewn;
The butt of a cigar she clamped in her teeth,
And the smoke it encircled her head like a shield;
She had a hard brow and a lip that was tight,
Her voice, like a hinge, creaked in the night.
She was long and lean, a real scary old elf,
And I shuddered aloud, in spite of myself;
A blink of her eye and a twitch of her head,
For a moment I felt nothing but dread;
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work,
Blew out all the pumpkins, then turned with a jerk
And straightening the cap on the top of her head,
And giving a nod, up the chimney she fled.
She sprang to her broom, to her cat gave a cry
And away they all flew like the sweep of a scythe;
But I heard her proclaim ere she flew past the moon,
“Trick or treat to you all, and I’ll be back real soon.”
