Little dart of red
Streaming behind you
Run little red
Yellow eyes shine
This is how I remember
My faithful little friend
Hairy head on my foot
Snoring softly beside my bed
Beneath the tree
Dusk is ever here
Softly you rest
Sleeping in the twilight
Wrapped in softest cloth
Dear eyes that open no more
Little friend, let’s sit
Quietly beneath the leaves
Together, companions
I will weep quietly
And we will sit here
Quietly as darkness falls
