A Train's Night Journey In urged haste it gluts its obese crowding Kicking up its first breath whistles its drag Slow huffs-puffs to tadak-tadaks speeding Runs on rails with modesty of its brag Oscillating bogies on fear-brooding Of a lurking colleague in crossing lag While benighted green breeze takes to refuge In sleeping minds of varied colours huge Going thus the train with pause then and there A maze of moon glitters along its way Passing midnight in somewhat gloomy scare A cautious force tows the train fast right way Cheered tadak-tadaks, tadak-tadaks flare When rouged sky streaks an arc of a heyday Dawning minds breathe in breezing greens' rebirth And the halting train kicks out its last breath
