English poem
The Black Riders & Other Lines/Black riders came from the sea.
by Stephen Crane (1871–1900)
Black riders came from the sea. There was clang and clang of spear and shield, And clash and clash of hoof and heel, Wild shouts and the wave of hair In the rush upon the wind: Thus the ride of sin.
