Kindness to Animals
Little children, never givePain to things that feel and live.Let the gentle robin comeFor the crumbs you save at home.As his meat you throw along,He’ll repay you with a song.Never hurt the timid hare,Peeping from her green grass lair;Let her come and sport and playOn the lawn at close of day.The little lark goes soaring highTo the bright windows of the sky,Singing as if ’twere always springAnd fluttering on an untired wing.Oh! let him sing his happy song,Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.

Little children, never give
Pain to things that feel and live.
Let the gentle robin come
For the crumbs you save at home.
As his meat you throw along,
He’ll repay you with a song.
Never hurt the timid hare,Peeping from her green grass lair;Let her come and sport and playOn the lawn at close of day.

Peeping from her green grass lair;
Let her come and sport and play
On the lawn at close of day.

The little lark goes soaring high
To the bright windows of the sky,
Singing as if ’twere always spring
And fluttering on an untired wing.
Oh! let him sing his happy song,
Nor do these gentle creatures wrong.
