EASTER DAY by ANNETTE WYNNE

First Line: RABBITS, CHICKS, AND EVERYTHING
Last Line: AND SO—THE WORLD KEEPS EASTER DAY!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; APRIL; EASTER; HOLIDAYS; RABBITS; THE RESURRECTION; HARES;
RABBITS, chicks, and everything,
All dress up to keep the spring;
That's how small maids learned the way
To celebrate the Easter Day.

And every bird has learned to sing
A brand new song about the spring;
And every small maid has a bonnet
With a brand new ribband on it.

And all the glad earth looks its best,
In buds and leaves and ribbands dressed,
In buckles, songs and green array,
And so—the world keeps Easter Day!
