      I saw a little bunny
      going hop, hop, hop.
      I said, "Please, Mr. Bunny,
      won't you stop, stop, stop."
      He flapped his big, long ears
      and had no word to say,
      And before I could get near him
      he had hop, hop, hopped away!

sprang up where drops of
Christ's sweat fell to the ground.
