ODE ON THE DEATH OF HAIG'S HORSE: 1 by DOUGLAS GARMAN

First Line: BURY THE GREAT HORSE / WITH ALL CLUBDOM'S LAMENTATION
Last Line: AND CRITICS GATHER IN SMOKE-ROOM AND STALL.
Subject(s): HAIG, DOUGLAS. 1ST EARL HAIG (1861-1928); TENNYSON, ALFRED (1809-1892); TENNYSON, ALFRED TENNYSON, 1ST BARON;
Bury the Great Horse
With all clubdom's lamentation,
Let us bury the Great Horse
To the noise of the mourning of a horsy nation:
Mourning when their darlings fall,
Colonels carry the charger's pall,
And critics gather in smoke-room and stall.
