Though she had a "gait in her hitch" she carried a switch to "aid her work of sin."
The title character of this work is also the title character of a four-act drama by J.S. Jones. Though she had a "gait in her hitch" she carried a switch to "aid her work of sin." Apparently the switch was made of a twig of wizard hazel where a mother had thrown "her nameless babe" into a stream of "running water and merciless stone." Her counsel was sought by sailors and surgeons alike, and she was said to have predicted in the invention of the radio. For 10 points, name this 900 line poem about an eighteenthy century New England fortune-teller and supposed witch, written by John Greenleaf Whittier, which has a similar name to a female hero of the Revolutionary War.
