thank you for you time i just want to see if i did my work correct.i will put the questions and answers and on the bottom of that i will put my answer.
now as the train bears west,
its rhythm rocks the earth,
and from my Pullman berth i stare into the night while others take their rest.
bridges of iron lace,a suddenness of trees,
a lap of mountain mist all cross my line of sight,
then a bleak wasted place,
and a lake below my knees.
full on my neck i fell the straining at a curve;
my muscles move with the steel,
i wake in every nerve.i watch a beacon swing from dark to blazing bright;
we thunder through ravines and gullies washed with light.beyond the mountain pass mist deepens on the pane; we rush into a rain that rattles double glass. wheels shake the roadbed stone,the pistons jerk and shove, i stay up half the night to see the land i love
