Stickeen

by John Muir

TO HELEN MUIR

Lover of wildness this icy storm-story is affectionately dedicated

TO MY DOG BLANCO BY J.G. HOLLAND

My dear dumb friend, low lying there, A willing vassal at my feet; Glad partner of my home and fare, My shadow in the street;

I look into your great brown eyes, Where love and loyal homage shine, And wonder where the difference lies Between your soul and mine!

. . . . . . .

I scan the whole broad earth around For that one heart which, leal and true, Bears friendship without end or bound, And find the prize in you.

. . . . . . .

Ah, Blanco! did I worship God As truly as you worship me, Or follow where my Master trod With your humility:

Did I sit fondly at His feet As you, dear Blanco, sit at mine, And watch Him with a love as sweet, My life would grow divine!
