Three Horses |
In the early dawn a stallion white |
Prances the hills in the morning light |
His bridle is painted with thunder and gold |
Orchids and dragons, pale knights of old |
He is the horse of the ages past |
And now the children run to see |
The stallion on the hill |
Bringing bags of apples |
And of clover they have filled |
And the white horse tells his stories |
Of the days now past and gone |
And the children stand a-wondering |
Believing every song |
How brightly glows the past |
When the sun is high comes a mare so red |
Trampling the graves of the living and dead |
Her mantle is heavy with mirrors and glass |
All is reflected when the red mare does pass |
She is the horse of the here and now |
And now there is confusion |
Amongst the children on the hill |
They cling to one another |
And no longer can be still |
While the red mare’s voice is trembling |
With a rare and mighty call |
The children start remembering |
The bearers and the pall |
And though their many-colored sweaters |
Are reflected in the glass |
And though the sun shines down upon them |
They are frightened in the grass |
How stark is the here and now |
When night does fall comes a stallion black |
So proud and tall he never looks back |
He wears him no emeralds, silver and gold |
Not even a covering to keep him from cold |
He is the horse of the years to come |
And I will get me down |
Before this steed upon my knees |
And sing to him the sorrows |
Of a thousand centuries |
And the children now will scatter |
As their mothers call them home |
For the sadness of the evening horse |
No child has ever known |
And I will hang about him |
A bell that’s never rung |
And thank him for the many words |
Which from his throat have never sprung |
And I’ll thank God and all the angels |
That the stallion of the evening |
The black horse of the future |
Comes to earth but has no tongue |
