Deep into the heart of town

        Guarding the bridge and the river

        Watching the passers-by down

        He still appears full of vigour.

                       ***

        A fearless leader in the past

        Bold and proud and quick-witted

        Killed his enemies so fast

        That he seemed undefeated.

                       ***

        But in his hunger for power

        He did things really sordid

        Till he was locked in a tower

         Judged hastily and beheaded.

                        ***

         But he and his horse are still there

         Always  eager  to start an attack

          And all their foes feel the scare

          As  the rider seems to be back!
