Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Ace and Other Poems Old Ace. Can any pleasure in life compare With a charming drive in the balmy air? A buggy light with shimmering wheel; Springs whose resistance you barely feel; A spirited horse of royal breed, With just a little more style and speed Than any you meet, and it matters not If his gait be pace or a swinging trot. The tassel sways on the graceful whip; You grasp the reins with a tighter grip; Your horse is off for a splendid dash And needs no touch of the urging lash. You feel the puff of the startled air; It floats his mane and it lifts your hair! The hoof marks time with its measured beat, For the singing nostril that scorns defeat! One glorious day in the balmy spring John Dorr was out with his new horse, King. Though both were rich, it was his design To buy him a faster horse than mine. By his side the sweetest girl in the town, Of handsome features and eyes so brown, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
