Archibald Lampman - The Railway StationArchibald Lampman - The Railway Station
Work rating: Low


  The darkness brings no quiet here, the light     No waking: ever on my blinded brain     The flare of lights, the rush, and cry, and strain,   The engines` scream, the hiss and thunder smite:   I see the hurrying crowds, the clasp, the flight,     Faces that touch, eyes that are dim with pain:     I see the hoarse wheels turn, and the great train   Move labouring out into the bourneless night.   So many souls within its dim recesses,     So many bright, so many mournful eyes:   Mine eyes that watch grow fixed with dreams and guesses;     What threads of life, what hidden histories,   What sweet or passionate dreams and dark distresses,     What unknown thoughts, what various agonies!
