TRAVEL
By: Edna St. Vincent Millay
The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isnt a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isnt a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends Ill not be knowing;
Yet there isnt a train I wouldnt take,
No matter where its going.
