H.D.Thoreau, "What's the Railroad to Me?" & Walden [1854, and later]

What's the Railroad to Me?
What's the railroad to me?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(from 'Walden; or, life in the woods', 1854)










(Walden Pond. Massachusetts)

    Tenzin Nanette Miles Thank you. Feelings of nostalgia. My childhood home was bordered by a railroad and woods.

    Giacomo Conserva I used to hear trains at night, through the still city, far away moving on
