A POEM Bob Dylan wrote when he was a teenager about a dead dog is to go on the auction block next month.

The handwritten poem called Little Buddy is the earliest by the singing legend to come to auction and is estimated to sell for between $US10,000 ($A12,924) and $US15,000 ($A19,387) at Christie's on June 23, the auctioneers said.

The two-page poem, signed by Bobby Zimmerman, as he was called before he changed his name, "is a dark and mournful poem, about the murder of a boy's dog," Christie's said in a statement.

"I'll meet my precious buddy up in the sky/ By a tiny narrow grave/ Where the willows sadly wave," the poem reads.
