On a Dark and Lonely Night

On a dark and lonely night,
A stranger saw a beautiful horse
And went up to it to stroke its mane.
He whispered, "What are you doing here,
You great and beautiful beast?
Do you await someone
To mount thy bare back?
I hope that that someone is me
For I need a powerful beast
To take me back to my loved ones,
Otherwise I am stranded here.
So now I am mounting thee
For you have to take me
Back to my loved ones."
Saying so the stranger mounted the lovely horse,
And galloped away into the dark night.
