The old Rocking Horse.
Battered and bruised and worn and old,
Bereft Of his name and tail,
A veteran charger stanch and bold,
He has weathered life's fercest gale.
The hero Of many a gallant raid,
In many a bloodless war,
A soldier Of fortune, undismayed
BY battle and wound and scarf
Meath the guiding touch Of a little hand
He has Travelled many a mile
Through the wonderful realms Of Play
Ike" Land
Where the spirits Of Fancy SMILE
But, strange to say, in bis boldest tight,
Though he halted or rested not
Through al his travels BY day and night
He has stood in the self-same spot!
He was ridden far be was ridden hard;
He has borne fierce brunts and blows,
And oft has felt, as a sweet reward,
A kiss on his worn-0ut nose.
And though he is rather the worse for
wear,
And is crippled and SCARED and old,
In the eyes Of his master he still is fair
And worth his weight in gold.
