We are two travellers, Roger and I.
Roger's my dog--come here, you scamp!
Jump for the gentleman--mind your eye!

And slept out-doors when nights were cold,
And ate and drank and starved together.

But in come canine Paradise
Your wraith, I know, rebukes the moon,
And quarters every plain and hill,

Take toll of all the shades who land,
Your little, faithful barking ghost
May leap to lick my phantom hand.
