Rhyme Scheme: AABB AACC DDEE AAFG AAHH DDEE DDII| Wherefore neighest thou so sadly | A |
| Stampest with the hoof so madly | A |
| Speak my steed why at the tent | B |
| With thy stately neck down bent | B |
| - | |
| Have not my own hands caress'd thee | A |
| Proudly in gay trappings dress'd thee | A |
| Yet thou com'st not as of old | C |
| Champing at thy curb of gold | C |
| - | |
| Hast thou not in bright hues glowing | D |
| Silken shabrack downward flowing | D |
| Silver hoof and broidered rein | E |
| Gemm'd with trophies from the slain | E |
| - | |
| And the horse he answered sadly | A |
| Stamp I with the hoof so madly | A |
| Tramp of steed I hear afar | F |
| Trumpet clang and din of war | G |
| - | |
| But soon a stranger will bestride me | A |
| Other hand than thine will guide me | A |
| Never more by thee caress'd | H |
| Or proudly in gay trappings dress'd | H |
| - | |
| See the foe with fury glowing | D |
| Rends my glittering shabrack flowing | D |
| Curb of gold and broidered rein | E |
| Fiercely does he cleave in twain | E |
| - | |
| And my stately neck is drooping | D |
| 'Neath a fearful burthen stooping | D |
| There a dead man lies supine | I |
| Cold as ice the Form is thine | I |
