TO A DOG

You shaggy Loveliness,
What call was it?-What dream beyond a guess,
Lured you, gray ages back,
From that lone bivouac
Of the wild pack?-
Was it your need or ours? The calling trail
Of Faith that should not fail?
Of hope dim understood?-
That you should follow our poor humanhood,
Only because you would!
--JOSEPHINE PRESTON PEABODY, "To a Dog"
