TAKE HER, BREAK HER, by ANACREON Poet's Biography First Line: Ah tell me why you turn and fly Last Line: To mount the car and manage thee. Alternate Author Name(s): Anakreon; Anacreontea Subject(s): Animals; Horses | |||
AH tell me why you turn and fly, My little Thracian filly shy? Why turn askance That cruel glance, And think that such a dunce am I? O I am blest with ample wit To fix the bridle and the bit, And make thee bend Each turning-end In harness all the course of it. But now 'tis yet the meadow free And frisking it with merry glee; The master yet Has not been met To mount the car and manage thee. | 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 |
