LE LITTLE LAPIN

 

Le little lapin on the lawn

trembling in the dusky dawn

which spreads from the glowing east

& forlorn flowers open mild

so soft & frightening like a child

was born but locked inside to mourn

as the morning soft awakes outside

& a rabbit perched upon the lawn

sheds a secret tear for us all

before the rusty autumn falls.
