From - Witches' Song

By Ben Jonson

The owl is abroad,the bat and the toad, And so is the cat-a mountain, The ant and the mole sit both in a hole, And frog peeps out o'the fountain; The dogs they do bay,and the timbrels play, The spindle is now a-turning; The moon it is red,and the stars are fled, And all the sky is a-burning.
