Classic and Contemporary Poetry

OUTSPEEDED by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TONIGHT THE ONWARD-RUSHING TRAIN
Last Line: TO LET THE DARKNESS THROUGH.
To-night the onward-rushing train
Would bear thee far from me;
But, winged with swifter dreams, again
My spirit flies to thee.

Nay, speeding far beyond thee, waits
To welcome thee anew,
Where dawn is opening the gates
To let the darkness through.
