Analysis of Steam Train Go
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
These days 'they' say,
Afraid they are to be made to look...
Like fools!
Steam train come.
Steam train go.
Many many moons ago!
In eyes long to pass see full.
In eyes long to pass see blue.
In eyes long to pass,
Not see moon new.
Yet fools?
Yes!
