Once here, upon graceful grasses and
under many hearty hemlocks
did hares reside as a sturdy band.
Some males’ eagerness forced headlocks,
while young leverets were tended to
by their heedful mothers who well knew
of the perils that then hunted
stray child after child, whom acted
and fled to taste freedom without fear.
“Only stupid leverets leave,”
mothers cried to stop the naïve.
Alas, their cry fell on young deaf ears –
before nighttime again youth fled
into wolfish jaws where they bled.
Onegin stanza done earlier in the month for class.
