LET us ride together,— Blowing mane and hair, Careless of the weather, Miles ahead of care, Ring of hoof and snaffle, Swing of waist and hip, Trotting down the twisted road With the world let slip. Let us laugh together,— Merry as of old To the creak of leather And the morning cold. Break into a canter; Shout to bank and tree; Rocking down the waking trail, Steady hand and knee. Take the life of cities,— Here's the life for me. 'Twere a thousand pities Not to gallop free. So we'll ride together, Comrade, you and I, Careless of the weather, Letting care go by. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE RESOLVE by ALEXANDER BROME ASSUNPINK AND PRINCETON [JANUARY 3, 1777] by THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH BALLADE OF MYSELF AND MONSIEUR RABELAIS by LEONARD BACON (1887-1954) CHRISTMAS by CHARLOTTE LOUISE BERTLESEN APPRECIATION by LIDA WILLIAMS BROCKER ASCENDING FOOTSTEPS by JOSEPHINE BYINGTON THE REPLY OF SOCRATES, CONCERNING THE WRITINGS OF HERACLITUS by JOHN BYROM |
