Sea horses
Language: English
I saw them plunging thro; the foam, I saw them pacing up the shore, A thousand horses, row on row, And then a thousand more. In fear they leapt upon the land, In tear they tied before the wind, And, prancing, plunging, on they raced— The huntsman raced behind. Today they plung'd right thro' the foam Today they pranc'd right up the shore, A thousand horses, row on row, And then a thousand more.
