This is from a song called "Bright Eyes" sung by Art Garfunkle in the movie Watership Down. The song was sung as the rabbit Hazel passed away.
Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.
Rest in Peace sweet Jessica. My candle for you burns in the window each night.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
