- "A peasant one time hearing the usual baying and cheering in a wood, would join in the cry. Next morning he found hanging at his stable-door a quarter of a green Moss-woman as his share of the game."
- "‘A Moss-woman!’ the haymakers cry, And over the fields in terror they fly. She is loosely clad from neck to foot, In a mantle of moss from the maple's root, And like lichen grey on its stem that grows Is the hair that over her mantle flows."
