Red stands his ground –
He will not turn back ...
He has smelled keewatin
He has tasted the north wind
The Grey is no less certain
It’s spruce and balsam
that she’s smelling
Tamarack and slough hay
A horse’ll do your bidding
Even let you ride’m to death:
Just horse’m around hard
with bit and with spur
But you can’t horse a mule
When he’s made up his mind
Bit and spur won’t sway ‘em
No matter what ever you do.
So I curse and I fume and
I mutter, but northward I Ride –
Yes I curse and fume an mutter
Knowing the beasts are right . . .

I use to ride one in a full gallop,
then she would suddenly stop
throwing her head to the grown
sending me to the stars....
I think she was a she, but I finally
stopped riding her.
