I actually found this poem in a horse book. I was on the horse breed the Camargue when I saw this poem in the interesting facts.
...in a shroud of silence like the dead,
I heard a sudden harmony of hooves,
And, turning, saw afar
A hundred snowy horses unconfined,
The silver runaways of Neptune's car
Racing, spray-curled, like waves before the wind.
Sons of the Mistral, fleet
As him with whose strong gusts they love to flee,
Who shod the flying thunders of their feet
And plumed them with the snortings of
the sea.
