FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,                                 Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;                              All by himself and gathering brambles;

And charging along like troops in a battle,                             Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;

All through the meadows, the horses and cattle;                              And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

All of the sights of the hill and the plain                                  Here is a cart run away in the road

Fly as thick as driving rain;                                                            Lumping along with man and load;

And ever again, in the wink of an eye,                                    And here is a mill, and there is a river:

Painted stations whistle by.                                                        Each is a glimpse and gone forever
