Her Work Needed ...
Good haunting poem. Her works in stories and poetry needed to be brought back in print. She deserved better than obscurity.

Read about this early female contributor to Weird Tales and went hunting for her stuff on Project Gutenberg and Bit Torrent. Found only this, a melodramatic four stanza poem describing a with burning. Fine description but not a whole lot of depth/interpretation of the act.

"They burned a witch in Bingham Square—
But ere she swooned with pain
And ere her bones were sodden ash
Beneath the sudden rain,
She set her mark upon that throng...
For time can not erase
The echo of her anguished cries,
The memory of her face."
But ere she swooned with pain
And ere her bones were sodden ash
Beneath the sudden rain,
She set her mark upon that throng...
For time can not erase
The echo of her anguished cries,
The memory of her face."

A decent poem about the burning of a witch. I just feel like a few more lines should have been added to describe the witch herself to further add to the melancholy atmosphere.

An engaging poem and it's literally one single page. Just read it.

A very powerful poem. Counselman address the anti-woman use of witch burning.

Today, it’s easy to condemn witch burnings, but one must realize that a witch so burnt may have caused a flower to bloom in Winter, read the Bible in her native tongue, or committed another such heresy.

Warning: This is a one-page poem.
I found this shortly after I purchased my original Kindle (I moved on to a Kindle Paperwhite last November). It was free and one of the poems that my teacher had shared with my class a LONG time ago (haha) when we were learning about the witch trials in Salem.
It might be a short little poem but it's worth a look-see (I mean, it's only a page - and it's free - how could you not take this chance to read something about history?).

I enjoyed this poem very much. I wish Mary Elizabeth Counselman was more known. Her stories are really good. I recommend everyone to check some of her stuff out!
