You would not with that fiendish jerk

Let out that sudden blast of steam

Whose screaming almost makes us scream

Thy whistle weird perchance may be

A sad and sore necessity,

But cannot Law and sense combine

To—well, in short to draw the line?—

Across the open let it shrill

From moor to moor, from hill to hill,

But in the tunnel's crypt-like gloom,
