It wasn't about children.

I cannot walk alone
They cling to me
Like a hundred hungry hill-dren
gobbling---gobbling
Making meal out of my marrow
Come to me, chew to me
my children, my children
Blithely,
Breaking bones for them
My children, my children
As they suck my rind I cling to them
My children, my children
We all fall down instead
tumbling---tumbling
Losing loving lies and lost my head
Ding dong, the witch is dead
All my dear, deluded darlings fled
Left all alone in bed
crumbling---crumbling
I cannot walk alone
But I can die alone
My children, my children

Farewell.
