THERE'S an old, old song with a sweet refrain — 'Douglas, Douglas, tender and true'! It was sung of a man by Scotia's main — A man of a noble, knightly strain — But Douglas, my collie, 'twas meant for you. With your regal air and ruff of snow, Your soft dark eyes for caress that sue, Your welcoming bark, now loud, now low, And your glad response to love, I know The old, sweet song was meant for you — 'Douglas, Douglas, tender and true.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 54 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN THE OLD CLOCK ON THE STAIRS by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW A CHRISTMAS CAMP ON THE SAN GABR'EL by AMELIA EDITH HUDDLESTON BARR ON HEARING AN AEOLIAN HARP by PETER BAYLEY JR.
