When the Railroad Comes
by Irene Welch Grissom
Where that new depot lonely stands
His eyes see beauty that is more
Sublime to him than marble halls
That long freight train just pulling in
Fills him with joy; he loudly calls
A greeting to the crew, and grins
At their response he dimly hears
Through clanging bells and grinding wheels.
The sounds are music
to his ears;
And standing there contentment steals
Through every chamber of his mind.
All aboard and farewell.
We miss you already.
The girls,
Sybil, Sadie, Patches.

Special thanks to
