Witch's thimbles, Dead man's bells
Sound like words from ancient spells
Bloody fingers, Lady's glove
Witches tend to like the stuff
Fairy fingers, Fairy caps
Things from fairytales perhaps
Everywhere an other name
Yet they all speak of the same
Fairies love them, 's often said
And like to use them as a hat
Ointments, once by witches made
Could make you hallucinate
It can heal or death induce
Even the doctor knows its use
And yet its poison we ignore
If it is beauty we adore
Because real splendor they display
In gardens, woods, along the way
High they rise in purples, reds
Sometimes white, in garden beds
Attracting hungry bumblebees
And little fairies, no one sees
It brightens almost any place
Where foxglove shows its lovely face
