Bright eyes was not written for Watership Down Mike Batt composed it about his father dieing of cancer. "Bright eyes " refers to the strange look in Mike's father's eyes brought on by the pain killers. I suppose that the "suddenly burn so pale" bit must be when he finally died.
The song itself is one of my favorites. very emotional.
I love the book and film of watership down. The book is best because many rabbit words are not explained in the film, owsla for example.
