“ A horseman on a hilltop green
Drew rein, and wound his horn;
So bright he looked he might have been
The Herald of the Morn.
His steed was of the sovran strain
In Fancy's meadows bred —
And pride was in his tossing mane,
And triumph in his tread.
The rider's eyes like jewels glowed —
The World was in his hand —
As down the woodland way he rode
When Spring was in the land. ”

“ And all the world forlorn,
From out the dim wood's heart I hear
The echo of his horn.
