Rhyme Scheme: A B B C D A E F G G G H| Us two in the room my dog and me Outside a fearful storm is howling | A |
| - | |
| The dog sits in front of me and looks me straight in the face | B |
| - | |
| And I too look into his face | B |
| - | |
| He wants it seems to tell me something He is dumb he is without words he does not understand himself but I understand him | C |
| - | |
| I understand that at this instant there is living in him and in me the same feeling that there is no difference between us We are the same in each of us there burns and shines the same trembling spark | D |

| Death sweeps down with a wave of its chill broad wing | A |
| - | |
| And the end | E |
| - | |
| Who then can discern what was the spark that glowed in each of us | F |
| - | |
| No We are not beast and man that glance at one another | G |
| - | |
| They are the eyes of equals those eyes riveted on one another | G |
| - | |
| And in each of these in the beast and in the man the same life huddles up in fear close to the other | G |
