I hear a sudden cry of Pain!

There is a rabbit in a snare

Now I hear the cry again

But I cannot kill from where

But I cannot tell from where

He is calling out for aid

Crying on the frightened air,

Making everything afraid

Making everything afraid

Wrinkling up his little face,

And the cry again for aid

And I cannot find the place!

And I cannot find the place

Where his paw is in the same

Little one! Oh little one!

I am searching everywhere.
