Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EF EFGHGH GI GIAJ AJ

Over my desk in a dark office bendingA
Dim seems the sunlight and dull seems the dayB
But when the afternoon draws toward an endingA
Here waits my steel steed I mount and awayB
Like cobwebs of silver I see in the distanceC
The glint of bright wheels I must follow and findD
What life in the air now what zest in existenceC
As faster and faster I race with the windD
-
Down the smooth pavements and out toward the heatherE
Ho fellows ho I am coming you seeF
-
Breast to breast now let us speed on togetherE
Who dares try mounting that hillside with meF
Over the bridge I go past the green meadowsG
Au revoir boys I will ride on aloneH
For in yon cottage half hid in the shadowsG
Waiting for me is my sweetheart my ownH
-
She watches my wheel as it glitters and glistensG
Down the steep crest of the daisy starred hillI
-
Fair is her cheek as she waits there and listensG
For the sure signal blown tenderly shrillI
Sweetheart my sweetheart I'm coming I'm comingA
Here sturdy steed you may stand by the wallJ
-
A bird to her mate has flown swift thro' the gloamingA
Love youth and summer thank God for them allJ
