Nor are these few lives all my care;
A thousand souls are centered there :
The children who for father wait,
The wife who watches for her mate,
(I well know how their arms do call
For those afar), they trust me, all.

I guard a thousand homes and hearts
In distant cities, foreign parts,

Where all unknown my face and name:
Yes, I must guard-through shock and flame
And scalding steam, through pains of hell-
Their lives, who sleep and trust me well.

The road is straight, the track is clear,

The green lights cry, "There's naught to fear!"

Heigh wheels,

Fly! Wheels

Flinging miles of steel behind!

Haste wheels,

Apace! Wheels,

Mountain weight and speed of wind!

Flash!
Clash!
