    THE MERRY brown hares came leaping
      Over the crest of the hill,
    Where the clover and corn lay sleeping,
      Under the moonlight still.

    Leaping late and early,
      Till under their bite and their tread,
    The swedes, and the wheat, and the barley
      Lay cankered, and trampled, and dead.
