From <\/em>The Sun, August 27, 1913<\/em><\/a>. By Arthur Chapman.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sailor loves the craft he sails\u2014
    He loves each bolt and spar;
The horseman loves the steed that bears
    Him o\u2019er the plains afar;
But there is love surpassing all
    Writ in the sailor\u2019s log;
It is the love that dwells betwixt
    The sheepman and his dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The love is born of lonely nights
    And days upon the plain,
Of storms upon the mountain tops,
    Of toil in cold and rain;
At even, in the fire glow,
    What comradeship so strong
As that \u2018twixt dog and shepherd when
    The night wind sings its song?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ranch lights twinkle o\u2019er the ways
    Where many comrades tramped;
They light the uplands, once so drear,
    Where dog and herder camped;
But still that friendship must abide
    In newer fields afar,
For love that\u2019s born of lonely life
    Is deathless as a star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
