Heavy Horses |
An October’s day, towards evening. |
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the rlough |
Salt on a deep chest seasoning. |
Last of the line at an honest day’s toil |
Turning the deep sod under. |
Flint at the fetlock, chasting the bone |
Flies at the nostris plunder. |
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Persheron vie |
with the Shire on his feather floating |
Hauting soft timber into the dusk |
to bed on a warm straw coating. |
Heavy Horses, wore the land under me |
Behind the plough gliding *** sliping and sliding free. |
Now you’re down to the few and there’s no work to do |
The traktor’s on it’s way. |
Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed |
To keep the old line going. |
And we’ll stand you abreast at the back of the wood |
Behind the young trees growing |
To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth, |
and you eighteen hands at the shoulder |
And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry |
and the nights are seen to draw colder |
They’ll beg for your strength, your gentle power |
your noble grace and your bearing |
And you’ll strain once again to the sound of the gulls |
in the wake of the deep ploug, sharing. |
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill |
Up into the cold wind facing |
In still battle harness, chained to the world |
Against the low sun racing. |
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood |
A rein of polished leather |
A Heavy Horses and a tumbing sky |
Brewing heavy weather. |
