Time,—

'The quivering carriages rock and reel,

Hurrah! for the rush of the grinding

steel!

And a thousand to one we win it.

Look at those flitting ghosts—

The thundering crank, and the mighty

The white-arm'd finger-posts— wheel!—'

If we're moving the eighth of an inch, Isay,

We're going a mile a minute!...'
