Stop, stop, Little Rabbit!

Where are you going?

Do not run away from me.

I can not see you, now.

Where are you, Little Rabbit?

Oh, now I see you!

You are behind the flowers.

You are in the pretty clovers.

Stop, stop, Little Rabbit!

Do not eat the clovers.

They are so pretty.

They are so white.

They are white like your ears.

The clovers are so little, now.

Soon they will be big.

Then you may eat them.

Good-bye, Little Rabbit, good-bye!
