Steel Horse Mine

Steel Horse mine I did betake

to ride aloft on Eagle's wake.

The wind forsooth I sought to ride

but hard was surface, on my pride

The wise with prudence, they have won

My life forsooth was nearly done.

Like leaf which withers through nature's ire

some of us must go through fire

Gained many nicks it's sad but true

far better though, than Coffin new.
