| The Treasured Three written by William Henry Davies |
| From "Later Days", 1925 |
Here with my treasured Three I sit,
Here in my little house of joy,
Sharing one fire, and on one mat:
My wife and my dog, Beauty Boy,
And my black Venus of a cat.
But while they sleep I sit and think;
Will Death take my black Venus first;
Shall I be first, or Beauty Boy,
Or Dinah, whom I love the most -
To leave this little house of joy?
