When I was once a wandering man, And walked at midnight, all alone – A friendly dog, that offered love, Was threatened with a stone. 'Go, go,' I said, 'and find a man Who has a home to call his own; Who, with a luckier hand than mine, Can find his dog a bone.' But times are changed, and this pet dog Knows nothing of a life that's gone – Of how a dog that offered love Was threatened with a stone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COLUMBUS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER VERSES TO MR.
