The Easter Bunny
by M. Josephine Todd, 1909

There's a story quite funny,
about a toy bunny,
And the wonderful things she can do;

Every bright Easter morning,
Without any warning,
she colors eggs, red, green, or blue.
some she covers with spots, some with quaint little dots,
And some with strange mixed colors too

Red and green, blue and yellow, but each unlike his fellow
Are eggs of every hue.
And it's odd, as folks say, that on no other day
In all of the whole year through,
does this wonderful bunny, so busy and funny,
color eggs of every hue.

If this story you doubt she will soon find you out,
And what do you think she will do?
On the next Easter morning she'll bring you without warning,
Those eggs of every hue.
