The Dog
Free texts and images.
| The Dog written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Song of Life", 1920 |
The dog was there, outside her door,
She gave it food and drink,
She gave it shelter from the cold:
It was the night young Molly robbed
An old fool of his gold.
'Molly,' I said, 'you'll go to hell -'
And yet I half believed
That ugly, famished, tottering cur
Would bark outside the gates of Heaven,
To open them for Her!
