A Thousand Horse but None to Ride

Painted Heart
A Thousand Horse but None to Ride
With flying tail and flowing mane
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain
Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein
and hooves that iron never shod
and flanks un-scarred by spur or rod
A thousand horse the wild the free
Like waves that flow over the sea
came thickly thundering on
written by: Lord Byron
