Classic Poem

It's ho! for a ride in the open,
With the cool winds blowing free,
And nothing but joy in dale and hill
For my trusty wheel and me.
It's ho! for the dew of the morning
That sparkles on leaf and spray,
And ho! for the charm of the sunset light
When the glad day fades away.

With muscles that answer quickly
To call of the resolute will,
With cheeks that glow and eyes that shine
And pulses that bound and thrill,
I fly through the beautiful kingdom
That beckons my wheel and me,
Queen of the world of girlhood,
And sovereign of all I see.
