The moon is like a scimitar, A little silver scimitar, A-drifting down the sky. And near beside it is a star, A timid twinkling golden star, That watches like an eye.
And thro' the nursery window-pane The witches have a fire again, Just like the ones we make, - And now I know they're having tea, I wish they'd give a cup to me, With witches' currant cake.

"summary": "A childlike speaker watches the night sky, likening the crescent moon to a little silver scimitar and a nearby star to a timid, watching eye, then peers through the nursery window to imagine friendly witches gathered around a fire having tea; the poem blends whimsical, nocturnal imagery with everyday domestic comforts—tea and currant cake—and ends on a playful longing to be included in the magical, homely scene.",
