Whenever the moon and stars are set, Whenever the wind is high, All night long in the dark and wet, A man goes riding by. Late in the night when the fires are out, Why does he gallop and gallop about? Whenever the trees are crying aloud, And ships are tossed at sea, By, on the highway, low and loud, By at the gallop goes he. By at the gallop he goes, and then By he comes back at the gallop again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET: IN ABSENCE FROM BECCHINA by CECCO ANGIOLIERI DA SIENA EVENING by GEORGE WASHINGTON DOANE OF THE DAY ESTIVALL by ALEXANDER HUME REBEL MOTHER'S LULLABY by SHANE LESLIE SIMMENTHAL by FREDERICK WILLIAM HENRY MYERS ODE TO MASTER ANTHONY STAFFORD [TO HASTEN HIM INTO COUNTRY] by THOMAS RANDOLPH ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A TRIP TO PARIS AND BELGIUM: 16.
