A YELLOW HORSE WITH A BLAZE AND A BLACK MANE by IBN SA'ID OF ALCALA LA REAL

First Line: ON MY CHARGER GOLDEN-BRIGHT
Last Line: AND, BETWEEN HIS EYES, THE MORNING.

On my charger golden-bright
Oft I set the dust a-flying,
When about the waist of night
Dawn her gleaming belt was tying.

Sleek was he, and high of breed,
Mane of night his neck adorning
(How I gloried in my steed!)
And, between his eyes, the morning.
