There was an old woman tossed up in a basket, / Seventeen times as high as the moon; / Where she was going I couldn’t but ask it, / For in her hand she carried a broom. / Old woman, old woman, old woman, quoth I, / Where are you going to up so high? / To brush the cobwebs off the sky! / May I go with you? / Aye, by‐and‐by. (English)

There was an old woman toſs’d in a blanket, / Seventeen times as high as the moon ; / But where ſhe was going no mortal could tell, / For under her arm ſhe carried a broom. / Old woman, old woman, old woman, ſaid I / Whither, ah whither, ah whither ſo high ? / To ſweep the cobwebs from the ſky, / And I’ll be with you by and by.
