Salut!

Imprinted now for the first time by hand at the Sign of the Rabbit,

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Night falls in the Ti-Tree, Dusk fades from the hill— The Frogs on their banjoes Are strumming their fill With a will.

Banjoes in the near pond Bones in the other— In ecstasy Crickets Outshrill one another. Shrill.... Shrill....

The Birds are all hushed now The moon's in the sky— Around and around us The little Bats fly, Waveringly.
