DYING IN HARNESS.
67
"Yes, that's what it means; 'tis a little word;
"But, mates, the strongest ship
That ever was built is a baby's toy
"When it copes with an Arctic Nip."
DYING IN HARNESS.
ONLY a fallen horse, stretched out there on the road.
Stretched in the broken shafts, and crushed by the heavy load;
Only a fallen horse, and a circle of wondering eyes
Watching the 'frighted teamster goading the beast to rise.
Hold! for his toil is over—no more labor for him;
See the poor neck outstretched, and the patient eyes grow dim;
