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-2/
