Lesbia Harford's Poem 'The Melbourne Cup' 🐎: A Vivid Celebration of Race Day and Riders' Glory

I like the riders <br />Clad in rose and blue; <br />Their colours glitter <br />And their horses too. <br />Swift go the riders <br />On incarnate speed. <br />My thought can scarcely <br />Follow where they lead. <br />Delicate, strong, long <br />Lines of colour flow, <br />And all the people <br />Tremble as they go.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-melbourne-cup/
