Rabbit’s Song (SJ Tucker - Blessings)

Song: Rabbit’s song Artist: S.J. Tucker Album: Blessings Trickster came a’calling To find a totem here To teach the foolish heart of man Without installing fear. Many came and many went And still the Trickster paused; Bear and Cat and Tiger tried but had too many claws. Dog and Wolf though wise indeed Had teeth t’were quite a fright And Owl with his tawny eyes could only see at night. “No,“ the Trickster said at last “Teachers, I see many. But My way is full of laughter and in you I see not any.“ But beneath the tree where Eagle sat Coyote told the tale of silly hares cavorting In the old country of Wales. Raven stared unto the sun And Crow sang awful songs And Rabbit sat a’listening With ears so wondrous long.
