ハロウィーン通信

☆マザーグース（１）

There was an old woman tossed up in a basket

Nineteen times as high as the moon;

where she was going I couldn’t but ask it,

For in her hand she carried a bloom.

“Old woman, old woman, old woman,”

quoth I,
“O whither, O whither, O whither, so high?”

“To brush the cobwebs off the sky!”

“Shall I go with thee?”

“Ay, by – and – by.”
