I first read this poem as a young child. It captured my imagination and the rhythm of the lines is just like a steam train. I fell in love with it then and I still love now aged 65.
This poem is brilliant. it feels like one is on the train.

Captivating is how I would describe it. On reading the first line I thought it was a poem just for children, but I must be a child at heart because I was caught up in the magic of this one. The words fit together almost like the sound of the train itself, moving down the line.
