Better than his kind will do

Is my benediction said

Sunny moor or meadow;

Sunshine help thy sleeping!

Blessings on thee, dog of mine,

Sturdy stoppers keep from thee

Pretty collars make thee fine,

Sharing in the shadow.

On the palm left open.

In a tender trouble.

Startled eyes of hazel bland

Shining out from all the rest

Underneath my stroking hand,

Tracked the hares and followed through

Yet be blessed to the height

Through thy lower nature,

Gentle fellow-creature!

Full of prank and curveting,

Be my benediction said

If a pale thin hand would glide

Other dogs in thymy 九-九-藏-书-网dew

Leap! thy slender feet are bright,

And because he loves me so,

Or a louder sighing.

Like a ladys ringlets brown,

Cologne distillations;

Darkly brown thy body is,

Loving fellow-creature!

Mock I thee, in wishing weal? --

Or a sigh came double,

Leaping like a charger.

Either side demurely

Only loved beyond that line,

Sugared milk make fat thee!

Leap! thy broad tail waves a light,

Next a languid cheek that slept,

But of thee it shall be said,

Little ist to such an end

This dog, if a friendly voice

Which he pushed his nose within,

Set for drinking deep i99lib.netn.

Down his dewlaps sloping, --

With my hand upon thy head,

Blessing needs must straiten too, --

After, -- platforming his chin

No man break thy purple cup

Flash all over into gold

Other dogs may be thy peers

Leap! those tasselled ears of thine

Pleasures wag on in thy tail,

When the sleek curls manifold

Of all good and all delight

Nevermore, to pat thee

Pervious to thy nature;

Come out! praying from the door, --

Therefore to this dog will I,

Canopied in fringes;

This dog watched beside a bed

Who her own true faith has藏书网 run

And thy feast-day macaroons

Haply in these drooping ears

Other dogs of loyal cheer

Of a faintly uttered speech

Little canst thou joy or do,

Therefore and for ever.

Thou who lovest greatly.

Flicker strangely, fair and fine

Turn to daily rations!

Of thy body purely.

Often man or woman,

Whiskered cats arointed flee,

Presseth backward as before,

And if one or two quick tears

This dog only, waited on,

Than such chamber-keeping,

That I praise thy rareness;

No flys buzzing wake thee up,

Down their golden inches

With a burnished fulness99lｉｂ•ｎｅｔ.

Knowing that when light is gone

Bounded at the whistle clear,

With a love that answers thine,

Kindling, growing larger,

Till the sunshine striking this

Alchemise its dullness,

Give I back more love again

Leaning from my Human.

This dog only, watched in reach

Roses, gathered for a vase,

Of thy silver-suited breast

Flow thy silken ears adown

Nuts lie in thy path for stones,

This dog only, crept and crept

Yet, my pretty, sportive friend,

Round the sick and dreary.

Downy pillow take thy head,

Watched within a curtained room

With my hand upon his head,

Tears are in my eyes to

feel

Call him now to blither choice

Render praise and favor:

Silken coverlid bestead,

Love remains for shining.

Where no sunbeam brake the gloom

Fawning, fondling, breathing fast,

Up he sprang in eager haste,

Up thou leapest with a spring,

Beam and breeze resigning;

Thou art made so straitly,

Up against me leaping.

And this glossy fairness.

Up the woodside hieing;

Day and night unweary,

Than dogs often take of men,

Tenderly not scornfully,

Dropped upon his glossy ears

Loving friend, the gift of one

In that chamber died apace,

And this dog was satisfied

Hands of gentle motion fail
