Stallions of the Moon
By FRANK BELKNAP LONG, JR.
Under granite ledges.
Over phantom sands.
Race the milk-white horses
From the Umber lands.
Under granite ledges—
Hoofs of golden sheen
Flashing in the twilight,
Purple cliffs between.
Mystic beasts of Sibyl,
Fed on golden oats.
More than Spartan finish
On their moonspun coats.
Argent waters check them:
Now they take the air.
Snorting hippogriffins
Speeding starward there.
See them in the gloaming.
Bridles flying free!
Underneath the red stars
Mounts for you and me!
