Sir Arthur Conan Doyle



                   A Hunting Morning


                   Put the saddle on the mare, 
                      For the wet winds blow; 
                   There's winter in the air, 
                      And autumn all below. 
                   For the red leaves are flying 
                   And the red bracken dying, 
                   And the red fox lying 
                      Where the oziers grow. 

                   Put the bridle on the mare, 
                      For my blood runs chill; 
                   And my heart, it is there, 
                      On the heather-tufted hill, 
                   With the gray skies o'er us, 
                   And the long-drawn chorus 
                   Of running pack before us 
                      From the find to the kill. 

                   Then lead round the mare, 
                      For it's time that we began, 
                   And away with thought and care, 
                      Save to live and be a man, 
                   While the keen air is blowing, 
                   And the huntsman halloing, 
                   And the black mare going 
                      As the black mare can.
