The train rolls in, I linger on,
still standing at the station,
it gathers speed and is a blur,
my feet feel its vibration.
Now that the train has come and gone
my moment too has vanished,
it gathered speed and is a blur
and now my dreams are banished.
But that same train that took my dream
fulfils those borne elsewhere,
it thunders rolling in a gleam
arriving puffing there.
Then welcome there your fresh new chance,
hug tightly when embracing,
for that same train that brought your dance
with mine went onward-racing.
