Green Horse

168  All the horse's tack—harness-strap, hind-strap,
169  the eye of the bit, each alloy and enamel
170  and the stirrups he stood in—were similarly tinted,
171  and the same with the cantle and the skirts of the saddle,
172  all glimmering and glinting with the greenest jewels.
173  And the horse: every hair was green, from hoof
174      to mane.
175      A steed of pure green stock.
176      Each snort and shudder strained
177      the hand-stitched bridle, but
178      his rider had him reined.
