Oh Darling Sirius ~

         Oh Darling!

I know that you are Sirius ~

Dog Star ~

Orion on a full moon January night 

on Skye 

and Orion points the very way ~ 

Orion ... Every time I see Her, now, I look ahead and there before Her:

    my Lap-dog, Bernese Mountain in my Skye

There ~ My 
Hound of Hell, Faithful Guardian of 

this night's Watch, 

   True and Faithful Wire-Fox Terrier ~

Black of nose and warm of purpose ~ Sure Ascent as He Scents ~ now,

Climbs Sure Ascent
Into Orion's lap
Lapped and Loved there 
Every Night of the Universe ~

Softly slumbering the Constellated Twins, close by, 

murmur something about endless Nights spent in His Charms ~
