Man and Dog by Siegfried Sassoon
Man and Dog
Who’s this - alone with stone and sky?
It’s only my old dog and I -
It’s only him; it’s only me;
Alone with stone and grass and tree.
What share we most - we two together?
Smells, and awareness of the weather.
What is it makes us more than dust?
My trust in him; in me his trust.
Here’s anyhow one decent thing
That life to man and dog can bring;
One decent thing, remultiplied
Till earth’s last dog and man have died.
