I like to see it lap the miles

I like to see it lap the Miles -
And lick the Valleys up -
And stop to feed itself at Tanks -
And then - prodigious step

Around a Pile of Mountains -
And supercilious peer
In Shanties - by the sides of Roads -
And then a Quarry pare

To fit it'sRibs - sides
And crawl between
Complaining all the while
In horrid - hooting stanza -
Then chase itself down Hill -

then -And neigh like Boanerges -
Then -punctual as - prompter than a Star
Stop - docile and omnipotent
At it's own stable door -
