CITY NIGHTS: 1. IN THE TRAIN, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The train through the night of the town
Last Line: The dazzling vista of streets!
Subject(s): Cities; Railroads; Urban Life; Railways; Trains


The train through the night of the town,
Through a blackness broken in twain
By the sudden finger of streets;
Lights, red, yellow, and brown,
From curtain and window-pane,
The flashing eyes of the streets.

Night, and the rush of the train,
A cloud of smoke through the town,
Scaring the life of the streets;
And the leap of the heart again,
Out into the night, and down
The dazzling vista of streets!
