| Eliza Ann was far from good; She did not act as children should, But fought and quarreled so at play The boys and girls all ran away. |
| Her mother said, "Take care, my dear, The rabbit witch will come, I fear, And steal you one of these fine days, Unless you learn to mend your ways." |
| But yet Eliza did not heed; She was a naughty girl indeed. So now the rabbit witch has come, And carries her away from home. |
| Down in the marshes far away The rabbit's children squeak and play; They tease Eliza till she cries, And with her apron hides her eyes. |
