The poem begins:
The old horse Dobbin out at grass,
Turns his tail to the wind that pass....
Can't remember the rest or the title and can't find it anywhere on the net!
My Dad used to recite the first few lines of this poem which he read as a child in the 1930's
The old horse Dobbin out at grass
Turns his tail to the winds that pass
Sees his master a small black dot
Riding on a new mare clippity clop.....
The poem is about a faithful horse who is heartbroken when he realizes that now he is old his master has a new favourite. These lines were all he could remember and I have been searching for years for the rest of it or the name of the poet.
The above is not what I recollect. I recall learning this poem in junior school in England in the 50's. I believe it's by Alfred Noyes. Unfortunately, I only remember the first verse, and my memory may be faulty!:
This verse is correct and I recall the remainder having learned this when 8 years old at Primary school, cannot remember the poet however.
The old horse Dobbin, out at grass
Turns his tail to the winds that pass
Stares at the white road winding down
Through the dwindling fields to the distant town
From the distance he hears a short sharp trot
Sees his master a small dark dot
Riding away on the smart new mare
That came last month from Pulborough Fair
And Dobbin remembers, as horses may
How often he trotted that ringing way
And his old heart aches with a heavier load
as he stands and wonders and stares at the road.
I remember this from junior school in the 1940's, verses 1 & 2 ok, but then something like
'now his coat is ragged
& blown awry
His old heart aches
though he knows not why
now his old heart aches
with a heavier load ,
as he stand and wonders
& stares at the road
My recolection is that the last verse went as follows:-
His coat is raaged and blown awry
He droops his head he knows not why
Something has happened something is gone
The world is changing his work is done
His old heart aches with a heavier load
He stares and wonders and stares at the road.
