And he�s master om earth, far down below, as he sits in his fireside chair, forgets sometimes, and whistles low for he� Berner thats no longer there And the little dog-angel cocks he� ears And dreams that his master� voice he
And I know when at length his master waits Outside in the dark and cold For the hound of death to open the gates That lead to the courts of gold His big Berner� welcomming bark Will comfort his soul in the shivering dark...
