General notes

The Rabbits

What more than the rabbits, of all God's creatures, claim the affection of children ?
Here is group characteristic of parental care in the animal world
alertfulness and watchfulness in the parents, and the trustfulness of the young, which are here disported on the grass within the shelter of their burrow, if danger is near
" I come in little things
As furred and gentle beasts
I come to meet
Your tired and wayward heart
In brown bright eyes
That peep from out the green sward."
