A LOCOMOTIVE
Reading edition
In the daytime, what am I? In the hubbub, what am I? A mass of iron and of steel, Of boiler, piston, throttle, wheel, A monster smoking up the sky, A locomotive! That am I!
In the darkness, what am I? In the stillness, what am I? Streak of light across the sky, A clanging bell, a shriek, a cry, A fiery demon rushing by, A locomotive That am I!
