Whew! How the drivers hammer!
We are late by an hour or more:
We way and swerYe on the ringing curve,
And the bridges reel AMI roar.
Look how the engine lurches-
And out OF his window cranes,
with gray eyes wed TO the track ahead,
A fellow III greasy leans.
Scarcely looks like the fellow .
To trust with ~ grave II care
In that 1rimV face tWere hard to trace
The metal that should be there.
Faster we roar and faster
The hand at the throttle shows
Steady enough. If the face il rough
and the landscape mclts and flows.

The tIust of IL hundred lives!
Stay, for the sake OF the hearts would break
And Tor others babes and wives

And with hands that snatch amaln
The monster recl4 on reversing wheels,
And the air rake rhOkes the train.
