The leash undone and free to run
Leaping bounding paws a’ pounding,
Watch me master, faster, faster
Now I’m going for all I’m worth
Skimming over the paw sweet earth
~
Down, down the winding lane
To the jingling of my collar chain
Wriggling under the old farm gate
To freedom fields where joy awaits
Dewy grass and poppy flowers
Where I can run for hours and hours
~
Now at your feet, curled in rest
Snuggled warmth by fireside blessed
I lift my trusting eyes to you
Oh master if you only knew
And if my thoughts I could convey
The love I feel for you this day.
