The old brown horse looks over the fence

In a weary sort of way.

He seems to be saying to all who pass:

“Well, folks, I've had my day-

I'm simply watching the world go by,

And nobody seems to mind,

As they're dashing past in their motor-cars,

A horse who is lame and half-blind."

Slide 11 - Open question




The old brown horse has a shaggy coat,

But once he was young and trim,

And he used to trot through the woods and lanes

With the man who was fond of him.

But his master rides in a motor-car,

And it makes him feel quite sad

When he thinks of the days that used to be,

And of all the times they had.
