THE RABBIT, by ELIZABETH MADOX ROBERTS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When they said the time to hide was mine Last Line: And I looked back very hard at him. Subject(s): Animals; Rabbits; Hares | ||||||||
When they said the time to hide was mine, I hid back under a thick grape vine. And while I was still for the time to pass, A little gray thing came out of the grass. He hopped his way through the melon bed And sat down close by a cabbage head. He sat down close where I could see, And his big still eyes looked hard at me, His big eyes bursting out of the rim, And I looked back very hard at him. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SNOWSHOE HARE by MARY OLIVER THE HOUR BETWEEN DOG AND WOLF: 3.
