"And the rabbit from his pathway
Leaped aside, and at a distance
Sat erect upon his haunches
Half in fear and half in frolic
Saying to the little hunter,
'Do not shoot me, Hiawatha!'"
Hiawatha's Childhood
H. W. Longfellow

Ever wondered what became of the March Hare?

"He's an Anglo-Saxon Messenger - and those are Anglo-Saxon attitudes. He only does them when he's happy. His name is Haigha." (He pronounced it so as to rhyme with "mayor")

"You may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor."

All on a summer's day..."

'In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright'
