A poem by Thomas Hardy

Faintheart in a Railway Train

________________________________________________
Title:     Faintheart in a Railway Train
Author: Thomas Hardy [More Titles by Hardy]

At nine in the morning there passed a church,
At ten there passed me by the sea,
At twelve a town of smoke and smirch,
At two a forest of oak and birch,
And then, on a platform, she:

A radiant stranger, who saw not me.
I queried, "Get out to her do I dare?"
But I kept my seat in my search for a plea,
And the wheels moved on. O could it but be
That I had alighted there!





-THE END-
