Than I, on that Derby Day.
For the air is full of memories
On Epsom’s sunny down,
The down where great Persimmon,
Bendor and Common, Bluegown,
Harvester and St. Gatien,
Ormonde who conquered the Bard,
Musjid and West Australian,
All fought for the Blue Ribbon, hard—
Would my name, I wondered, be written
