IN A RAILROAD STATION

We stood in the shrill electric light,
Dumb and sick in the whirling din—
We who had all of love to say
And a single second to say it in.


"Good-by!" "Good-by!"—you turned to go,
I felt the train's slow heavy start,—
You thought to see me cry, but oh
My tears were hidden in my heart.

[31]
