Horseman Springing

“HORSEMAN, springing from the dark,

Horseman, flying wild and free,

Tell me what shall be thy road

Whither speedest far from me?”

“From the dark into the light,

From the small unto the great,

From the valleys dark I ride

O’er the hills to conquer fate!”

“Take me with thee, horseman mine!

Let me madly rode with thee!”

As he turned I met his eyes,

My own soul looked back at me!
