THE ELECTRIC TRAM.
The waste and the wonder and the shame P am riding towrds the sunset through the
vision of a city
Which we aloak with the stupor of a name am riding through ten thousand thousand
tragedies and terrors,
Ten million heayens that save sad hells that
damn..
And
the lightning draws my car tow'rde the golden evening star;
So I'll say that I was riding on a train,
Heigh, ho
I'll say that I was riding on a tram. Alfred Noyes, in the Pall Mall Magazine,"
