The Game Of Our Hearts Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDAEAEBFBFAGAG HBIBAJAJKLKLAMAMNONOThis is the game of our hearts | A |
Foot to the stirrup Away | B |
Care with the night departs | A |
Joy comes in with the day | B |
A good horse tossing his rings | C |
A light rime decking the thorn | D |
And the heart of the horseman sings | C |
For love of a hunting morn | D |
This is the game of our hearts | A |
Mottled flanks in the fern | E |
Rate where a rabbit starts | A |
Cheer to a waving stern | E |
Call that we rush to obey | B |
From a Whip at his post outside | F |
Gone away Gone aw a a ay | B |
And we sit down to ride | F |
This is the game of our hearts | A |
Crash and rattle of rail | G |
Lean hounds driving like darts | A |
Into the breast of the vale | G |
Tried Age taking the lead | H |
Rash Youth coated with clay | B |
Glory and glamour of speed | I |
And a right fox away | B |
This is the game of our hearts | A |
Whatever luck may ensue | J |
This where a Master of Arts | A |
May fail and a dunce get through | J |
This where the confident thrust | K |
This where the cowardly crane | L |
This where there's nothing to trust | K |
But fate and the feel of the rein | L |
This is the game of our hearts | A |
Squire and lawyer and lord | M |
Men of the farms and the marts | A |
Men of the pen and the sword | M |
Comrades we jog to the meet | N |
Rivals we ride the line | O |
And the sound of the hoofs is sweet | N |
And the taste of the wind is wine | O |
