Between the steel collar and hairy skin,
Saw that I saw it, and so took to flight.
Wagging his tail, a hurrah in each beat,
Expanding his chest with a gesture grand,
Rover ran back to crouch down at my feet,
Licking my eager incredulous hand.
It was in my hands—I tore it apart,
This letter that Harry had writ to me;
My head turn'd giddy, and so did my heart,
