Hope The Hornblower

Topics: classic

"Hark ye, hark to the winding horn;     Sluggards, awake, and front the morn!     Hark ye, hark to the winding horn;         The sun's on meadow and mill.     Follow me, hearts that love the chase;     Follow me, feet that keep the pace:     Stirrup to stirrup we ride, we ride,         We ride by moor and hill."     Huntsman, huntsman, whither away?     What is the quarry afoot to-day?     Huntsman, huntsman, whither away,         And what the game ye kill?     Is it the deer, that men may dine?     Is it the wolf that tears the kine?     What is the race ye ride, ye ride,         Ye ride by moor and hill?     "Ask not yet till the day be dead     What is the game that's forward fled,     Ask not yet till the day be dead         The game we follow still.     An echo it may be, floating past;     A shadow it may be, fading fast:     Shadow or echo, we ride, we ride,         We ride by moor and hill"
