“A gentleman who carries Light, white and gold; The tree-shadows lengthen; His glory is grand! The Lord of the array, with gold and brass..... With plates and bells, and horns a-marvel; Keeper of the ways in hidden rows, The horses’ tracks, His gathering resounds and echoes joyful; His star rises and shines, His hooves are hard, And radiant His tines, His head of fire.” -Meadowsweet's Red Chaplet |
