The morning is breaking–
The stag is away!
The hounds and the hunters
The signal obey!
The horn bids the echoes
Awake as we go,
And nature is jocund
With hark!–tally-ho!
Hark away!
Tally-ho!
Hark forward!–Tantivy!–
The woodland resounds
With shouts of the sportsmen
To cheer on the hounds!
The horse and his rider,
The deer and his foe,
Dash by to the music
Of hark!–tally-ho!
(He’s at bay!)
Tally-ho!
(George Pope Morris)
