Beneath a flag that doesn't waver,

A tree that's slain might well bear fruit,

And though the flag might not find favor

There's little failure of salute,

The witch ensures the flag's repute,

And keeps a wicked garden,

The branches one and all astute,

Are tangled begging pardon,

And though the garden might be green,

You've never seen one thinner,

Its branches white will turn to snow,

The witch's hand will winter

---what are the branches, what is the garden, who is the witch, what is the snow?

Here are the answers to the witch's hand riddle



the witch is a teacher

the garden is a chalkboard

the branches are lines of chalk upon the board

the snow is the powder of erased lines of chalk

I want to know. I'm the greatest American.
