Adieu

Darkness; night has fallen. In the distance, thunder rolls. It is louder now; light flashes in the sky. Rain pours.

I cannot hear anything but The scream of the wind And the screeching of the Lashing rains.

The thunder is louder now. I am afraid. Lights have gone In my master’s home.

I am alone in my cage. I cannot hear anything But the thunder; I am afraid.

I have to get out of my cage And get to my master To the warmth of his love And the rug that I love.

The thunder breaks my heart I break out of my cage I run to my master But the door is closed.

Where do I go, where do I Get away to? I run, I run - I should have seen the well.

In the cold darkness I think of my master And I could feel his arms Hugging me; he is kissing me.

Looking up, I see the sky clearing up The rains have stopped. My master must be happy now And dreaming of me in his sleep.
