       [center]The Witch Alone
       (by Scott Cunningham)
       Beyond the town, beneath the moon
       Beside the standing stone
       There lives a woman, fair of faith
       We call the witch alone
       She sings to sun and moon and stars
       And gathers herbs and weeds
       With which she fashions ancient charms
       And other magic deeds
       She worships not at altars built
       By hands of mortal men
       But in the misty glade
       Beyond the farthest glen
       What need has she of flashing swords
       Of crystals glowing bright
       Of censors and of colored cords
       That grace the wiccan rite?
       Her tools are fashioned from the earth
       And wind and fire and rain
       Her rites are dances wild and free
       That call the gods amain
       When spring and summer pass to fall
       And twilight fills her eyes
       She'll lie upon the browning grass
       And smile as she dies
       For though she leaves her mortal shell
       Of flesh and blood and bone
       She knows she does not die but lives
       On, as the witch alone....
