The Old Whim Horse
(詳細はAustralian writer and poet Edward Dyson. It was first published in ''The Bulletin'' magazine on 30 July 1892,〔(Austlit - "The Old Whim Horse" by Edward Dyson )〕 and later in the poet's poetry collection ''Rhymes From the Mines and Other Lines'' (1896).
==Analysis==

In a review of the poem in "The Sunday Mail" (Brisbane), the reviewer describes the poem as follows: "Day after day, week after week, this horse comes along to the whim to work his 'shift' but never can he understand why his friends and his master do not come to work also. Still he hopes and waits patiently for their return. His thoughts are always of them and of the days when they toiled together side by side. But time passes by him swiftly, and gradually, through sadness and his desire to be with his friends again, his reasoning mind drops back into oblivion, and he begins to live in the world of his imagination."〔("The Sunday Mail", 3 November 1929, p30 )〕
Geoffrey Blainey, in "Days of Gold", his essay on the 150th anniversary of Eureka: "Nearby, a few spectators are patting a whim-horse, a slightly obstinate Clydesdale, about seven years old. He stands beside the whim, where his task is to plod round and round, tugging the rope that lifts materials from the nearby shaft. A few of the older generation are delighted to see him, because in their childhood, Edward Dyson's The Old Whim Horse was one of the most popular poems in the land: He's an old, grey horse, with his head bowed sadly."〔("Days of Gold" by Geoffrey Blainey, ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', 6 December 2004 )〕
Geoffrey Blainey, in his ''A History of Victoria'' (2006), stated that Dyson's poem "continued to remind thousands of young Victorians of the faithfulness of the horse in an era when the well-being of every Victorian depended on horsepower."〔''A History of Victoria'' by Geoffrey Blainey, 2006〕
