Hey fox, don't you come,
Don't steal rabbit's innocence
Neither his naivety
Nor destroy his tenderness.
....... Rabbit was my youthful Pan,
....... Never seemed to understand
....... Fears and cries and tears and sighs
....... And cold and lies and his demise.
Hey fox, don't you come,
Don't snatch birdy's golden cheer,
For birdy knows a tender song
That washes out the toughest tear.
....... Birdy was my source of joy
....... Made me clockwork - smiling toy -
....... Played with me beneath his wing
....... And died before I learnt to sing.
Hey fox, don't you come,
Don't you take this baby's hate
Neither take this baby's gun
For baby wants to fade away.
....... Baby cried one thousand shards
....... Broke his parents' tired hearts
....... By climbing from his nuptial tomb
....... And crawling back into his womb.
