Explore "The Power of the Dog" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
/ There is sorrow enough in the natural way / From men and women to fill our day; / But when we are certain of sorrow in store, / Why do we always arrange for more? / Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware / Of giving your heart to a dog to tear.
/ Buy a pup and your money will buy / Love unflinching that cannot lie -- / Perfect passion and worship fed / By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. / Nevertheless it is hardly fair / To risk your heart for a dog to tear.
