In a hidden away burrow, the rabbit peeked out.
“Oh I wonder if my friends are out?”
“It's so lonely, these unpredictable days,”
“I just want to see the sun's warm rays.”
“No one goes out,”
“Not even a shout.”
“Confined to our homes,”
“Kept inside all alone.”

In a warm cottage, the girl peeked out.
“Oh I wonder if my friends are out?”
“I miss them all so very much,”
“I can’t even invite them for a simple lunch!”
“I hope the rabbit is enjoying his cake,”
“Or maybe he has forgotten how to bake?”
“I long to hear my friend’s advice,”
“But I feel small like a grain of rice.”

In a draughty den the fox peeked out.
“Oh I wonder if my friends are out?”
“There's not enough prey,”
“I hope the horse has enough hay!”
“I wish every night,”
“That tomorrow the time will be right,”
“To see my friends again,”
“I wish my wish and say amen.”

In an old stable, the horse peeked out.
“Oh I wonder if my friends are out?”
“I haven't stretched my legs,”
“Who knows where tomorrow will tread?”
“The moors are silent,”
“It looks so giant!”
“I wish I could see them all again,”
“I just wish this lockdown would come to an end.”

The friends hopped with glee.
“Let’s meet up for tea!”
In a field of flowers, the sun was shining,
Every cloud had a silver lining.
At last the day came,
When they could see each other again.
The girl hugged them all and suggested they play,
Laughing and singing; “It’s my happiest day.”
