| The Graveyard Rabbit
4 From Leslie's Weekly.
In the white moonlight, whore the WHO"
| waves.
/ He halfway gallops among the graves
! A tiny ghost in the gloom and CLEAN,
! Content TO dwell where the dead men
| dream.
| But wary still:
| For they plot him i'll:
! For the graveyard rabbit hath charm
! (Nay God defend usD to shield from HARM
! over the shimmering slabs he goes
/ Every grave in the dark he knows;
! But his nest is hidden from human eye
where headstones broken on old graves lie
/ Wary still
! For they plot him i'll:
| For the graveyard rabbit, though skeptics
| scoff,
| Charmeth the witch and the wizard off!
! The black man creeps, when the night is
| dim,
| Fearful, still, on the track of him;
| Or leetly follows the way he runs,
For ne heals the hurts of the conJured
ones.
Wary still!
For they plot him i'll;
| The souls bewitched, that would ma re-
lease,
To the graveyard rabbit go for peace!
/ He holds their secret--he brings boon
Where winds moan wild in the dark o the
! moon;
/ And gold shall glitter and love smile sweet
| To whoever shall sever his furry feet!
! Wary still!
| For they plot him i'll
For the graveyard rabbit hath a charm
| MAY God defend usD to shield from harm!
