The stables were alive with din[5]
An old man with a gaunt, burnt face[16]
All sport, from bloody war to craps[80]
The Godsdown Tigress with her cub[96]
A sea of moving heads, and sterns[120]
His chief delight[128]
He had a welcome and salute[144]
The scarlet coats twixt tree and spray[153]
And now they gathered to the gamble[162]
He saw the farms where the dogs were barking[172]
There he slept in the mild west weather[182]
The boy's sweet whistle and dog's quick yaps[185]
He faced the fence and put her through it[222]
A white horse rising a dark horse flying[256]
Then down the slope and up the road[291]
He ran the sheep that their smell might check[295]
With a cracking whip and "Hoik, Hoik, Hoik, Forrard"[303]
He saw it now as a redness topped[313]
And man to man with a gasp for breath[330]
For with feet all bloody and flanks all foam[336]
