Up on their brooms the witches stream,
Crooked and black in the crescent's gleam:
One foot high, and one foot low,
Bearded cloak’d and cowl’d,
They go.

’Neath Charlie's Wane
They twitter and tweet,
And away they swarm
’Neath the Dragon’s feet.

With a whoop and a flutter
They swing and sway,
And surge pell-mell
Down the Milky Way.

Betwixt the legs of the glittering Chair
They hover and squeak in the empty air.
Then round they swoop
Past the glimmering Lion
T’where Sirius barks behind huge Orion;

Up, then, and over to wheel again,
Under the silver and home again,
Under the silver and home again,
Under the silver and home again.
 
 

月微光下，
而佝僂的巫婆們
乘著掃帚飛奔如流：
她們一腳高－腳低，
著鬚鬚的斗篷乘風而行。

北斗七星下方，
她們瞅啾而鳴，
且遙遙擠聚
在天龍星座腳下。

她們呼嘯且振翼
搖擺著 搖擺著，
紛亂地湧向
銀河。

在閃爍的金椅腳之間，
她們吱吱盤旋在空蕩的蒼穹，
然後俯衝繞過
閃著微光的獅子座，
直抵獵戶座身後的人狼座吠叫。

然後再度衝升，飛騰，疾轉，
在銀光下返家，
在銀光下返家，
在銀光下返家。
