Witch
by Kathleen Millay

I want to live where I
can walk alone
and no one wonder,
where I can be my singing self
and not be telling why.
I want to lie and
watch the leaves
in trees that I am under;
or sit awhile upon a rock
and watch the sea-gulls fly
all up and down the sky,
and hear the sea-gulls cry.
