Cartoon
In the palest light, a hand bejewelled
Beckoned through the leaded panes
The leader of the four white stallions
Standing silent on the stones
Without recourse to bit or reins
"Take your beasts, oh trusted friend
Bring the cattle from the train"
And saying so, the window opened
All the jewels flashed together
There upon the stones lay strewn
A hundred ears of golden grain
The stallion reared above the window
Once again now tight secured
The other three behind their leader
Followed him where he may lead them
Confident in life assured
There behind the leaded window
Lanterns to dispel the gloom
Lit the loaves and sacks of grain
That piled up to the oaken rafters
Echoes of the drunken laughter
Coming from the room
The stallion led the slow procession
Naked in the freezing night
Millions passed the lighted window
Begging for a hand of meal
Disappearing out of sight
In the room, the party blossomed
In the room where lanterns shone
All the wine has now been taken
All the grain has now been planted
All the bread has now been eaten
Even the house has gone
Beckoned through the leaded panes
The leader of the four white stallions
Standing silent on the stones
Without recourse to bit or reins
"Take your beasts, oh trusted friend
Bring the cattle from the train"
And saying so, the window opened
All the jewels flashed together
There upon the stones lay strewn
A hundred ears of golden grain
The stallion reared above the window
Once again now tight secured
The other three behind their leader
Followed him where he may lead them
Confident in life assured
There behind the leaded window
Lanterns to dispel the gloom
Lit the loaves and sacks of grain
That piled up to the oaken rafters
Echoes of the drunken laughter
Coming from the room
The stallion led the slow procession
Naked in the freezing night
Millions passed the lighted window
Begging for a hand of meal
Disappearing out of sight
In the room, the party blossomed
In the room where lanterns shone
All the wine has now been taken
All the grain has now been planted
All the bread has now been eaten
Even the house has gone
