The Horseman
by Walter de la Mare
Em Bm
I heard a horseman
Em Bm
Ride over the hill;
Em D
The moon shone clear,
C Em
The night was still;
Em Bm
His helm was silver,
Em Bm
And pale was he;
Em D
And the horse he rode
C Em
Was of ivory.

Mima
Walter De La Mare
Dm 
Jemima is my name,
C/D
    But oh, I have another;
Bb/D
My father always calls me Meg,
Am
    And so do Bob and mother;
G 
Only my sister, jealous of
F#7
    The strands of my bright hair,
Bm F#m
'Jemima - Mima - Mima!'
Em F#
    Calls, mocking, up the stair.

The Bandog

    By Walter De La Mare 

Em    
Has anybody seen my Mopser? - 
Em
        A comely dog is he,
Am C G Am
    With hair of the colour of a Charles the Fifth,
B7 C G Am B7
        And teeth like ships at sea,
    Am C G Am
His tail it curls straight upwards,
     B7 C G Am B7
   His ears stand two abreast,
Em   
 And he answers to the simple name of Mopser
B7
        When civilly addressed.
