Together

Topics: classic

Splashing along the boggy woods all day,     And over brambled hedge and holding clay,     I shall not think of him:     But when the watery fields grow brown and dim,     And hounds have lost their fox, and horses tire,     I know that he'll be with me on my way     Home through the darkness to the evening fire.     He's jumped each stile along the glistening lanes;     His hand will be upon the mud-soaked reins;     Hearing the saddle creak,     He'll wonder if the frost will come next week.     I shall forget him in the morning light;     And while we gallop on he will not speak:     But at the stable-door he'll say good-night.
