To my Dog Jet. "

My dear dumb friend low lying there,
willing vassel Mt my feet,
Glad partner of my home and fare,
My shadow in the street.
l look into your great brown eyes
Where love and homage shine,
And wonder where the difference lies
Between your soul and mine,
For all the good that have found
Within myself or human kind,
Hath royalty informed and crowned
Your gentle heart and mind.
I scan the whole broad earth around
For that one heart, which, leal and true,
Bears friendship without end or bound
And find the prize in you.
! trust you as trust the stars.
Nor cruel loss, nor soon of pI ide,
Nor beggary nor dungeon bars
Can move you from my side.
As patient under injury
As any Christian saint of Old,
As gentle rs n lamb with me,
But with your brothers bold.
More playful than Il frolic boy,
More watchful than II sentinel
BY day and night, your constant joy
To guard and please me well.
I clasp your head upon my breast
The while you whine and lick my hand
And thus our friendship is confessed,
And thus we understand.
And jet, ali did | worship God
As truly rs you worship me,
Or follow whore my Master trod
With your humility,
Did sit iondly ut His feet
As you, my dear dog, sit at mine,
And watch Him with n love rs sweet
My lite would grow divine.-[J.G q. Holland
