The speaker of this poem states that "pleasures are like poppies spread/You seize the flower, its bloom is shed". Places that the title character passes in this poem include "the monument/Where hunters found the murdered child" and "the well/Where Mungo's mother hung herself". That character arrives at a place where he sees, "Five tomahawks, with blood red- rusted/Five scimitars with murder crusted" as well as dead babies and "Priests' hearts" lying on a "holy table", around which "dancers quick and quicker flew". The protagonist is chased by those dancers after he shouts, "Well done, cutty-sark!", but manages to escape when his horse's tail gets pulled off as he reaches the River Doon. For 10 points, name this poem about a farmer who comes across a group of dancing witches, a work of Robert Burns.
