He Hopped So Very Quietly

We didn't hear the Easter Bunny
Hopping down the hall ---
He hopped so very quietly,
He made no noise at all.
But on the breakfast table
He left bright Easter toys ---
Downy chicks for little girls
And rabbits for the boys.
Then we found bright Easter eggs
Tucked behind the chairs
Upon the windowsill and in
The corners of the stairs.

Hop, Hop, Hop

Hop, hop, hop,
Hop my bunny hop,
Hop along my little bunny
You look sweet and very funny
On this Easter day.

Look and see,
Where the eggs may be,
Here is on and here's another,
Here's a lovely one for mother.
Let us look and see,
Where the eggs may be.

"I like white ones."
"Here are two."
"I like black."
"But there are so few."
"I want pink ones."
"Two for you."
"I like orange."
"WHAT shall we do-
there isn't an orange,
I've looked them through."
"Awwww."
"Wait! here's a red,
and a yellow too-
THAT'LL make orange
when you get through."
