The Arab's Farewell To His Horse Comments

Norton’s biography is astonishing. This poem always makes me cry.

aah, the memories of being a young girl with her much adored pony! I still have an arab - a rescue horse, at deaths door - and he's the sweetest little boy. I loved this poem then, and it's as much if not more beautiful now.

lovely poem

Poem mentioned in novel of Herman Wouk, The City Boy. I googled it, and poet Caroline Norton was mentioned in a recent Victoria story line. Very interesting.

One of my favorite poems- for the last 40 years! As time would have it, I see/feel this poem about people too, not just my horses. Very touching.

This poem was recited to me by my mother in the early 50s I was Enchanted then and now.

........an amazing write.....could envision this beautiful scene....so nicely written..

Very good poem Caroline.
