About
An Early English Song about a Rabbit at Dawn
Lyrics
Chorus
O sweet leporine, in yonder barley sea
Thy velvet ears attend each gentle sound
Clouds weep o'er thy crown in soft company
Whilst thou behold'st the world around
Post-Chorus
Hey down a down, hey down a day
Hey down a down, hey down a day
Verse 2
The hounds afeared thee not, nor tabby bold
For thou dost crouch with breath held fast
Yet see'st the folk where ale is poured and tales are told
Upon the tavern's step as thou art past
Pre-Chorus
So still, small watcher of the low green blade
Where dew and shadow both do meet
The noble and the knave, the beast and maid
Lie fair below thy velvet seat
Chorus
O sweet leporine, in yonder barley sea
Thy velvet ears attend each gentle sound
Clouds weep o'er thy crown in soft company
Whilst thou behold'st the world around
Post-Chorus
Hey down a down, hey down a day
Hey down a down, hey down a day
