A speckled cat and a tame hare
Eat at my hearthstone
And sleep there;
And both look up to me alone
For learning and defence
As I look up to Providence
I start out of my sleep to think
Some day I may forget
Their food [and] drink;
Or, the house door left unshut
The hare may run till it's found
The horn's sweet note and the tooth of the hound
I bear a burden that might well try
Men that do all by rule
And what can I
That am a wandering-witted fool
But pray to God that He ease
My great responsibilities?
