Of hallowed fane their nestling bower.
In caverned cliff beside the sea,
Or hollow of the woodland tree;—"
But occasionally they descend, when nature
"Prompts them in the waste to roam
And seek a subterranean home,
The burrowing rabbit's haunt, and there
Of sticks and matted wool prepare
Their dwelling, and produce their race,
In that unlikely dwelling-place."
