MY DOG
Tins dog of mine is kind and true, His honest eyes with friendship shine A better dog yon never knew. Believe me, than this dog of mine, My will to him is more than law, Ho is my suhjec . I his king ; At mv command he’ll shake a paw, Fetch, carry, beg, do anything.
Upon his eager nose I lay A most delightful piece of meat, But, till 1 tell him that lie may. Tins doe of mine declines to eat. I hide my hall where none can s°e In yonder elm so green and tall, This dog of mine runs up the tree, And brings me hack ray preity ball!
If other dogs are handsomer, How small a matter beauty is ! There’s not a dog, I dare aver, Can boast a truer heart than his. From him I never mean to part ; About his neck my arms I twine, Because I love with all mv heart This very darling dog of mine. Little' Folk's Magazine.
