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.

Sara Teasdale

Learn by heart: tap a gap

We stood in the shrill light,
Dumb and sick in the din
