THE DOG AROUND TOWN.
Have you leusted today, old reiiow.'
Had a sniff of some meat or n
bone
Were you gon'rously fed upon gravy
and liread
By some one who culled you their
own?
Your rim, sir! how plainly they're
showing!
Your legs seem uncertnln nnd
weak.
Have you searched every street for
n morsel to eat?
Are you Just n town dog, sir? Come
speak.
Were you housed from thu snow
storm last nigiit, sir?
Did you sleep within Borne warm
bed?
Did yon hear the wind roar ast the
closed stable door,
Whllo dreams of green llelds filled
your head?
Or did you' crnwl Into some alley
To curl up nnd shiver, nnd know
The voice of slow denth m the wind's
Icy breath
'Neath your boft, creeping blanket
of snow?
Hns anyone patted your head, sir?
or noted your great, Hunken eye?
Havo your unkempt ears heard a
gentle word
From some human friend passing
by?
Or havo folks just kicked you asfde,
sir7
Why, yoii'ro trembling now, where
you stand!
nuve thoy struck you po much that
you qunko at my touch
And cower nt the sight of my bnnd?
It's the way of the world, poor old
follow!
Just n struggle for bread, or a bone.
And some of us know how you feel
when you go
To your bed In tho alley, nlono.
Wero you sleek nnd well cared for
nnd handsome
Friends would feel yon and love
you on sight.
But It's different, sir. with n noor.
luckless cur,
Just a dog nround town! There,
good-night!
