Western Railroad Discussion > Railroad PoemsDate: 07/10/19 11:23 Railroad Poems Author: Railrev An odd request.
Does anyone know of any railroad poems that might be appropriate for a eulogy for a man who worked on ATSF? Thanks for the help. Railrev Cross posting on a couple of other forums Date: 07/10/19 13:04 Re: Railroad Poems Author: OHCR1551 There’s always the hymn “Life’s Railway to Heaven.” ETA: Didn’t know Brad Paisley did a cover of it recently. Lyrics here:

by Edna St. Vincent Millayhttp://www.yourdailypoem.com/i/next.png <phorum break> Next The railroad track is miles away, And the day is loud with voices speaking, Yet there isn't a train goes by all day But I hear its whistle shrieking. All night there isn't a train goes by, Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming, But I see its cinders red on the sky, And hear its engine steaming. My heart is warm with the friends I make, And better friends I'll not be knowing, Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take, No matter where it's going. |
