WHAT THE CAPTAIN SAID AT THE POINT-TO-POINT, by SIEGFRIED SASSOON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I've had a good bump round, my little horse Last Line: And anyhow I've had a good bump round. Subject(s): Animals; Horses | ||||||||
I'VE had a good bump round; my little horse Refused the brook first time, Then jumped it prime; And ran out at the double, But of course There's always trouble at a double: And then -- I don't know how It was -- he turned it up At that big, hairy fence before the plough; And some young silly pup (I don't know which), Near as a toucher knocked me into the ditch; But we finished full of running, and quite sound: And anyhow I've had a good bump round. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ALL THE LITTLE HOOFPRINTS by ROBINSON JEFFERS ROAN STALLION by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES DANCERS AT THE MOY by PAUL MULDOON CRAZY HORSE SPEAKS: 3 by SHERMAN ALEXIE |
