The speaker continues to assume the role of beggar by imagining the Dog "sometimes – at your side to run", but only "When you wanted him to » (11-12). Once again, she implies that the subject of the poem holds the power. The speaker does not want to irritate and exercise his own sense of empowerment, so he will only act when and if the subject wants him to. The final lines conclude the poem by asking: “Let it come – Tell Carlo – He will tell me!” » (13-14). Carlo was the name of Emily Dickinson's Newfoundland dog, who lived from 1850 to 1865 and was a gift from her father. The nickname Dickinson gave the dog was an allusion to the St John River Hound in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. (Lexicon). The speaker suggests that perhaps her dog could serve as an emissary between her and the subject of the poem. This is an abrupt change in tone and perhaps a light-hearted acknowledgment of the youthful attitude the speaker has toward her beloved. Since she has not yet fully developed a stable sense of self, this contributes to the speaker's underlying fear.
