Four Feet behind                             

 I have done mostly what men do,

and pushed it out of my mind;

But I can´t forget, if I wanted to,

Four-Feet trotting behind.

Day after day, the whole day through,

wherever my road inclined,

Four-Feet said, „I´m coming with you!“

And trotted along behind!

Now I must go by some other round,

which I shall never find,

Somewhere that dois not carry the sound;

Of Four Feet trotting behind.
