Horses

His muscular hind legs stand firm in the ground,
With all their fortitude and celerity.
His beautiful bay-body,
Glistens in the sunlight.
The hind legs in all their beauty,
Their movement se expeditious.

His courage restrains him from becoming wild,
His total endurance to run.
This animal so swift and strong,
Is worthy of any man.
This animal floated where others sank,
Flew where they could only fonder.
If courage and character were all,
The horse should live for ever.
But with all the beauty and clarity of language,
no words can describe the horse.
