Answer:

In "To His Horse," the narrator addresses the horse directly, imploring it to soothe him now by coming "scouring o'er the plain." He yearns for his horse to carry him away from the "unhappy doom" he is feeling. The speaker also displays a reverence for his horse that is characteristic of odes. Heredia uses heightened language such as melancholy, frenzy, and desolate. Finally, the poem's carries a nostalgic tone, in which the narrator longs for this moment with his horse so he may be whisked away.
