The Names of the Hare is an early English poem & can be found in The Leaping Hare by George Ewart Evans & David Thompson; if you like hares, you'll love that book - one of my Bibles. That translation is from the middle-English made (at my request) by my old friend Thor Ewing, but it also features a lot of the folklore from The Leaping Hare too. The last bit is my own; I have eaten hares, but would rather see them alive & leaping over the frosty furrows of an early spring morn.

Also from The Leaping Hare comes THIS, which is especially resonant. Click on the picture - that's medieval graffiti from St Albans Cathedral which also features in The Leaping Hare, but I chanced to see it back in December when we were passing through on our way to our gig at the Kit & Cutter Folk Club. Very special!
