When Old Jack Died.


When Old Jack died we staid from school they
said
At home we needn't go that day, and none
OF US ate any breakfast-only one,
And that was p%apa-and his eyes were red
When he came round where we were, by the
shed 49,
Where Jack was lying, half way in the sun
And half way in the shade. When we begun
To cry out loud. pa turned and dropped his
head
And went away; and mamma, she went back
Into the kitchen. Then, for a long while,
All to ourselves like, we stood there and
cried;
We thought so many good things of Old Jack,
And funny things-although we didn't
smile
We couldn't only cry when Old Jack died.
When Old Jack died it seemed a human friend
Had suddenly gone from US. that some face
That we had loved to fondle and embrace
From babyhood no more would condescend
To smile on Us forever. We might bend
With fearful eyes above him. interiace
Our chubby fingers DER him, romp and race,
Plead with him. call and coax-aye, we might
send
The old haIloo up for him, whistle, hist
Of sobs had let us), or, as wildly vain.
Snapped thumbs, called Speak" and he
had not replied;
We might have gone dow on our knees and
kissed
The tousled cars, and yet they must remain
Deaf, motionless, we knew. when Old
Jack died.
When Old Jack died it seemed to US, some way,
That all the other dogs in town were panied
With our bereavement, and some that were
chained
Even unslipped their collars on that day
To visit Jack in state, as though to pay
A last sad tribute there; while ~neighbors
craned
Their heads above the high board fence, and
deigned
To sigh Poor dog!r remembering how they
Had cuffed him when alive, perchance, be-
cause,
For love of them, he leaped to lick their
hands
Now that he could not, were they satisfied?
We children thought that, as we crossed his
paws,
And DER his grave, way down the bottom
lands,

Old Jack died.
