Poem by Robert Lee Frost

Canis Major

The great Overdog
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I’m a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.

2. Place for a Third
3. The Courage to Be New
4. For Once, Then, Something
5. Flower-Gathering
