Travel

The railroad track is miles away,
   And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn’t a train goes by all day
   But I hear its whistle shrieking.
 
All night there isn’t 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 friends I make,
   And better friends I’ll not be knowing;
Yet there isn’t a train I wouldn’t take,
   No matter where it’s going.
