"ENGINE-DRIVER, WHAT DO YOU SEE?"
Engine-driver, what do you see, Hiding so fast and so far? " I see the hills and tho shining skv, And at night a distant star. " I see the towers of cities rise, Steeple, and dome, and spire; Or the chimneys of humming factoriesAnd the glare of the furnace fire." Engine-driver, what do you hear, ?■ Hiding so far and so fast? " I hear the hiss of busy steam, And I hear the wind rush past. " I hear the beat of the driving rain, And I hear my engine's song; The sound of the wheels ns they turn and turn, > And the roar as we hurry along. " There may be birds in rustling trees That sing in a sweeter tone— But to me the finest song of all, Is my tireless engine's droue." —Copied—From EARVY GUBB, £ort Albert Central. Age 9.—(6 marks.).
