As we rush, as we rush in the Train, <br />The trees and the houses go wheeling back, <br />But the starry heavens above the plain <br />Come flying on our track. <br /> <br />All the beautiful stars of the sky, <br />The silver doves of the forest of Night, <br />Over the dull earth swarm and fly, <br />Companions of our flight. <br /> <br />We will rush ever on without fear; <br />Let the goal be far, the flight be fleet! <br />For we carry the Heavens with us, dear, <br />While the Earth slips from our feet!<br /><br />James Thomson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-train-3/
