A FLEETING WONDER, by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES Poet Analysis First Line: See where he rides, all hot and fast Last Line: By riding wild and fast. Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H. Subject(s): Horseback Riding | |||
See where he rides, all hot and fast – High on his horse that kicks Lightning and thunder out of wind, While fools applaud his tricks. A year or two, and there he lies, A bleeding thing, and thrown; Down in the dust he dribbles blood, Forgotten and unknown. Whoa! Steady now, my little horse, A gentle canter past: Though faintly cheered, there's nothing gained By riding wild and fast. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHITENESS I REMEMBER by SYLVIA PLATH ON THE ROAD TO CHORRERA by ARLO BATES HOW THEY BROUGHT THE GOOD NEWS FROM GHENT TO AIX by ROBERT BROWNING ASTROPHEL AND STELLA: 49 by PHILIP SIDNEY RIDING LESSON by HENRY SPLAWN TAYLOR AT THE LATTICE by ALFRED AUSTIN A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
