Stampede
Language: English
Tonight the horses of the wind Are riding wild and far, With ears close to their dark heads pinned, And hoofbeats that must jar The very moon upon her throne, And worlds that dormant lic. Tonight the horses of the wind Are riding wild and high, While from fierce nostrils stars are blown Across a stormy sky.
