Reynard, To His Sister

Get up, little sister
Get up!
This is no place for you to sleep
This is no place for foxes,
Come and play with me!
This place is dull and it stinks of smoke
The path they've laid across all the meadows
Is cold and hard and hurts my paws
Come and play with me!
Foxes do not belong here,
Not when there are still the woods,
And fields of rabbits to play with
So get up, little sister,
Get up! Run away with me
Leave this path and it's smell of blood
Soothe your paws in the grass,
Come and play with me!
Little sister, come and play!
