This poem creates an image of a man riding on a horse between the woods and in the dark and the silence. To make the poem more powerful. I can infer that the speaker feels tired and rush. I know because when u have allot of things to do you feel rush. Yes i can connect to my feelings because when am having the expo projects in my school, i need to do a project for every teacher and i need to finish them in a certain day and i feel rush.
