Part 1 — TO THE LITTLE BLACK DOG
Reading edition
We see you in the morning When Reveille implores; We meet you in the evening At end of daily chores. On march, fatigue, or drilling Our friend we find you still, With kindly, pleasant bearing And independent will. You're small, you're thin, you're homely, You're battered, scratched, and lame; But in our tasks before us Pray God we be as game!
