1 " Faster than fairies, faster than witches,Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;And charging along like troops in a battleAll through the meadows the horses and cattle:All of the sights of the hill and the plainFly as thick as driving rain;And ever again, in the wink of an eye,Painted stations whistle by.Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,All by himself and gathering brambles;Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;And here is the green for stringing the daisies!Here is a cart runaway in the roadLumping along with man and load;And here is a mill, and there is a river:Each a glimpse and gone forever! From A Railway Carriage "
