LYRICS OF THE RAIL: 1. THE SCORNED TOWN, by                    
First Line: The green fields waver, break a space
Last Line: A phantom never seen!
Subject(s): Fields; Men; Railroads; Pastures; Meadows; Leas; Railways; Trains


THE green fields waver, break a space
To black and white and gray,—
Men standing, staring in a place
That quickly dies away;—
And swift again on left and right
The living, slipping green.
What was that black and gray and white?—
A phantom never seen!
