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

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,

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