At the sleeve of my coat,
Pulling. as much as to say.
Come. master. awake,
And tend to the switch Lives now

Think IF the souls in the coming train
And the graves you are sending them
to.
Think of them. doomed every one to lie
As it were by your very hand
In yon fathomless ditch;
Murdered by one who should guard
them from harm.
Who is row asleep at the switch.
I sprang up amazed-scarce knew
where 1 stood,
Sleep had o'come me so:
could hear the forest trees rustling,
AS they by the tempest were tossed;
But, what was that noise in the dis
lance
That could not understand?
] heard IL at first Aindistinctly,
Like the rolling of some muffled drum.
Then nearer and nearer 1t came to me,
And made my very ears hum.
What light is this that surrounds me
And seems to set fire to my brain?
What whistle that. yelling so chrilly?
Ah! knew now-it is the train!
