Слушать(AI)The Snare
I hear a sudden cry of pain!
There is a rabbit in a snare:
Now I hear the cry again,
But I cannot tell from where.
But I cannot tell from
He is calling out for aid!
Crying on the frightened air,
Making everything afraid!
Making everything afraid!
Wrinkling up his little face!
And he cries again for aid;- and I cannot find the place!
And I cannot find the
Where his paw is in the snare!
Little One!
Oh,
Little One!
I am searching everywhere!
