 About a toy bunny, And the wonderful things she can do; Every bright Easter morning, Without warning, She colors eggs, red, green, or blue.  Some with quaint little dots, And some with strange mixed colors, too - Red and green, blue and yellow, But each unlike his fellow Are eggs of every hue. That on no other day In all of the whole year through, Does this wonderful bunny, So busy and funny, Color eggs of every hue.  She will soon find you out, And what do you think she will do? On the next Easter morning She'll bring you without warning, Those eggs of every hue."  before the cocks were crowing I met a bob-tail bunnykin and asked where he was going. "Tis in the house and out the house a-tispy, tipsy-toeing, Tis round the house and 'bout the house a-lighlty I am going." "But what is that of every hue you carry in your basket?" "Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue; I wonder that you ask it."  and eggs of red and gray, For every child in every house on bonny Easter day." He perked his ears and winked his eye and twitched his little nose; He shook his tail - what a tail he had - and stood up on his toes. "I must be gone before the sun; the east is growing gray; Tis almost time for bells to chime." So he hippety-hopped away."  The bunnies were busy packing their goods. The eggs were all colored so pretty and bright, All things were "go" for the big, special night. In hopes that the Bunny soon would be there. My little brother Sam was asleep in his bed, While visions of Easter eggs rolled round his head.  I had just settled down for a quick little nap. When outside the window I heard a great noise, I sprang from my chair and jumped over some toys. I pulled up the shade and, Oh, what a view. The moon on the meadow cast a bright golden glow And the wind blew the flowers to and then fro.  Came some lively bunnies, hopping here, hopping there! Leading the group with ears long and funny Was a plump all-white rabbit... That's right...the EASTER BUNNY! The rabbit called out and then there were more. "Come Peter! Come, Flopsy! Come, Benny! Come, Joe! Now hop along! Hop along! Hop along! GO!" 
 With baskets of eggs. (Let's hope they don't drop)! Just at that moment, on the porch down below, Came the stomping of feet 'Twas the rabbit I know! Through the door came the rabbit with a leap and a bound. He was furry and soft from his head to his feet. To see him so close was really quite neat.  Easter eggs galore he soon would hide. His eyes were all twinkles, His nose was so pink, And I can't be too sure but I think he did wink. That bobbed up and down like a boat with a sail. A twitch of his nose and a flick of his ear Was his way of saying "You've nothing to fear" Hiding the eggs and leaving no doubt, That the Easter Bunny had come like he does every year... Bringing baskets of happiness to children so dear. "  Bunny rabbits wiggle, So much they make me giggle. They wiggle their ears, They wiggle their nose, The tail on their rear, Wiggles too, I suppose. And just when I say, "Stop wiggling, stop !" They wiggle all over, and take a big hop !
