Yours a dog's life, do you moan? Courage, brother! cease to groan. Many men, as on they Jog, Live much worse than any dog. Yours a dog's life? Then, my boy, It's a life crammed full of joy! ''" Merry breezes, meadows fair. Birds and brooks and sunny air. Dogs? why, dogs are never sad! See them capering like mad! See them frisk their Jolly way Through the livelong laughing day! Dog's life? Then you'll never rust. Dog's life? Then you'll hope and trust; Then you'll say in Jaunty glee, "Bones have been, and bones will be." Cheery, active, trusting, true, ''" There's a canine goal for you ! Live a dog's life. If you can: You will be the better man! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MA LADY'S LIPS AM LIKE DE HONEY (NEGRO LOVE SONG) by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON AUTUMN SONG by KATHERINE MANSFIELD THEME IN YELLOW by CARL SANDBURG REVAMPING THE VIRGIN by KAREN SWENSON VIGNETTES OVERSEAS: 8.
