There Was An Old Woman Poem Class 4

 There was an old woman tossed up in a basket 

Seventeen times as high as the moon ; 

And where she was going

 I couldn't but ask it , 

For in her hand she carried a broom .

 " Old woman , old woman , old woman , " said I 

" O whither , O whither , O whither so high ? " 

" To sweep the cobwebs off the sky ! 

And I'll be with you by and by.
