Song: Bella in the Witch Elm
Bella’s in the witch elm
Regal in a taffeta gown
Queen of her forest realm
Autumn leaves form her crown
Bella’s in the witch elm
She won’t say how she came there
She’s still as seasons turn
And winter winds wind her hair
Beneath the cries of the weeping willow
You can hear the sighs from the witch elm’s hollow
Bella’s in the witch elm
wearing her gold wedding ring
She’s silent at the coming of Spring
At the maypole, children dance and sing
Bella’s in the witch elm
Wearing just one summer shoe
She will never tell
Someone put here there – but who?
Who put Bella where she can’t see
Who put Bella in the Witch Elm Tree? Who?
