"Wild Horse" by Hillary Allen, Age 9, Canada,
WILD HORSE
And fiercest eye
Clattering hoof
Will never die.
From memory of mine
The horse (if wild)
A creature fine
Who's always bright
Yet man took horse
To call his own
And broke him in
With reins and such.
Man used a whip
Twas very coarse
And took the life
From wild horse
That proud creature
Jumping free!
Is now a sad and gloomy one
Oh, think! of what the man has done.
Wild, free
Full of glee
That was
The wild one!
Shame on man
To do what's done
Took spirit, soul, all joy as well
Oh--!wild horse!"
