" We had not to gain her confidence or her friendship; she was born our friend;
While her eyes were still closed, already she believed in us;
Even before her birth, she had given herself to man ."

Maurice Maeterlinck

Sunny  of  The  Short  Paw

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
     Beside the springs of Love...
     A maid whom there were few to praise
     And very few to love.
          She dwelt among the untrodden ways.

     A violet by a mossy stone
     Half hidden from the eye;
     Fair as a star, when only one
     Is shining in the sky.

     She lived unknown, and few could know
     When 'Sunny' ceased to be;
     But she is in her grave, and oh
     The difference to me!
