"Four-Feet" by Rudyard Kipling

 

Four-Feet


I have done mostly what most men do,

And pushed it out of my mind;

But I can't forget, if I wanted to,

Four-Feet trotting behind.

 

Day after day, the whole day through --

Wherever my road inclined --

Four-Feet said, "I am coming with you!"

And trotted along behind.

 

Now I must go by some other round, --

Which I shall never find --

Somewhere that does not carry the sound

Of Four-Feet trotting behind.



Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.
