Should be quite easy to guess now.

The Hare

In the -la-- --rrow o- a -ield
I saw an old wit-h hare this night
And she -o--ed a lissome ear
And she eyed the moon so -right
And she ni--led o' the green
And I whispered 'Whsst! Wit-h hare'
Away li-e a ghostie o'er the -ield
She -led, and le-t the moonlight there.

An F please

[Karen]

I'm sending a guess, finally think I got one of the words I was stuck on!

[Miss Z]

Yes, Karen got it! But, as she hosted the previous puzzle, she would like it to go to the second highest scorer.

shepgirl, I have counted your Fs as a guess, as you guessed before Karen PM'ed me, and that makes you the second highest scorer, so would you like to hold the next puzzle?

Here is the completed puzzle:

The Hare

In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch hare this night
And she cocked a lissome ear
And she eyed the moon so bright
And she nibbled o' the green
And I whispered 'Whsst! Witch hare'
Away like a ghostie o'er the field
She fled, and left the moonlight there.
