"Round and round three times three, Tell me what you see." When they finished the first round, the queen and lad stopped before the mirror, and she asked the lad what he saw? "I see, I see, the mirror tells me, It is the witch that I see," said the lad. So they marched round again, singing the same words as before, and when they stopped a second time before the mirror the queen again asked him what he saw? "I see, I see, the mirror tells me, It is a hare that I see," said the lad. A third time the ceremony and question were repeated. "I see, I see, the mirror tells me, The hares run up the hill to the mill." "Now", said the queen, "there is to be a hare-hunting this day week; be at the mill at noon, and I will meet you there." And then the fairies, pole, mirror, and all, vanished and only the empty ring on the green was left. |
