In The Train By James Thomson

As we rush as we rush in the train

The trees and the houses go wheeling back

But the starry heavens above the plain

Come flying on our track

All the beautiful stars of the sky

The silver doves of the forest of night

Over the dull earth swarm and fly

Companions of our flight

We will rush ever on without fear

Let the goal be far the flight be fleet

For we carry the heavens with us dear

While the Earth slips from our feet
