Verse 1
In the F#mearly dawn a sAtallion white
F#mPrances the hills in the Amorning light.
His Dbridle is Apainted with Dthunder and Agold,
DOrchids and drAagons, Dpale knights of olAd.
He is the Ghorse of the Gages Bmp - Aast.
And A6now the childrenF#m run to see the Dstallion on the Ahill,
A6Bringing bags of appF#mles and of Dclover they haveA filled.
And the Dwhite horse tells his Astories
Of the dDays now past and Agone
And the Dchildren stand aA-wondering
BelDieving every sAong.
How bGrightly glows the Bmp-asAt.

Verse 2
When the F#msun is high comes a Amare so red,
A'tF#mrampling the graves of the lAiving and dead.
Her Dmantle is Aheavy with Dmirrors and Aglass,
DAll is reflAected when the Dred mare does Apass.
She is the Ghorse of the here and Bmn - Aow.
And A6now there is conF#mfusion 'mongst the Dchildren on the Ahill.
They A6cling to one a-F#mnother and no Dlonger can be Astill.
While the Dred mare’s voice is Atrembling
With a Drare and mighty Acall,
The cDhildren start re-Amembering
The Dbearers and the Apall.
And though their Dmany-colored Asweaters
Are re-Dflected in the Aglass,
And though the Dsun shines down upAon them,
They are fDrightened in the Agrass.
How Gstark is the here and Bmn - Aow.

Verse 3
When F#mnight does fall comes a Astallion black,
so F#mproud and tall he Anever looks back.
He wDears him no Aemeralds, Dsilver or Agold,
not Deven a Acovering to Dkeep him from Acold.
He is the Ghorse of the years to Bmc - Aome.
And A6I will get me F#mdown before this Dsteed upon my Aknees
And A6sing to him the F#msorrows of a Dthousand centuAries.
And the cDhildren now will Ascatter
as their Dmothers call them Ahome,
for the Dsadness of the Aevening horse
No Dchild has ever Aknown.
And DI will hang about Ahim
a bell Dthat’s never rungA
and Dthank him for the many Awords
which Dfrom his throat have Anever sprung.
And I’ll thank DGod and all the Aangels
That the Dstallion of the Aevening,
The bDlack horse of the Afuture,
comes to Gearth but has no Bmto-nAgue.
