CLASS POEM THE DOUBLE TRACK I stood on the station platform On the skirts of a little town, From opposite directions Two trains came thundering down; Like two great angry demons, With a speed they ne’er did slack, They plunged by the little station And the steel-bound double track! When the flying trains had vanished And the smoke had cleared away, I stood on the platform musing,— My thoughts running back to a day When a train pulled off on a siding, And there it would quietly lie While a train from the opposite direction In dignified manner passed by. If, then, one were out on a journey, While his train would lie on the switch He could climb down the steps at his leisure And stroll away off down the ditch And eat to his full of wild berries; Then slowly wend his way back; But now he has taken the “flyer,” And is off on a great double track. Ah yes, we're off on the “flyer” And the speed is racking our nerves, And our heads are so light and so dizzy While dashing around the sharp curves; We're flying through forests and meadows— Such beautiful scenes—but alas! Of all the ravishing beauty We catch but a glimpse as we pass. Our class is nearing a junction— Already its lamps are in sight; We're about to step down from the platform For now ends our swift, dizzy flight; But no—I mistake, ‘tis not ended, For here we only change cars; But here, for a while, we would tarry ‘Neath the soft, quiet light of the stars. But tomorrow we leave this fair junction And we never more shall come back; I could wish that we might take, tomorrow, A train on the old single track To go thr ough life a bit slower, I'm indeed very free to confess, As I now see the case it were better Than to ride on the lightning express!
