sHo! ho!' he cries and mounts his bike,
1.-The passing of the horse!"
Within my breast it seems to strike
A pang that beats remorse.
No spider frame of Bonded steel
With handle-bars and rubber tires,
Can stand beside the strong appeal,
OF throbbing life and strong desires.
I smooth my horses shapely neck;
His nostrils sniff the piny air;
No pearl from far Tehuantepec
Can match his beauty. standing there!
IT'S joy to stroke his kindly head;
And thus fellow learns to feel
A noble breathing quadruped
Is more than tube and sprocket wheel.
Let others praise the silent steed,'
That slides along the Well-rolled grounds
My heart still yearns with loving greed
For sounding hoofs, and rhythmic
bounds.
