BLOOD WILL TELL. 



BLOOD WILL TELL. 



Come, bear with me, reader, and pause for awhile ; 



A tale of the chase I will tell. 

 "That subject again ? " Yes, I thought you would smile : 

 But it's all I'm allowed, for the critics revile 



If I try to take others as well. 



Perhaps, after all, it's a gain in the end 



To be tied to the subject you love. 

 And when you have taken the horse as a friend 

 Through trouble and care, you're prepared to defend 



Him, as something sent down from above.
