Clivia ( again )

Clivia's opened more blooms so worth another shot.

Extra is for my blip pal Moloh, I've put it in extra cos Blip will show it sideways if main shot.
It's Robert Louis Stevenson's " From a Railway Carriage ", that I remember  now, the pace of it. I think I must have learnt it at Junior School.

From a Railway Carriage

Faster than Fairies, Faster than Witches
Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;
And charging along like troops in a battle,
All through the meadows the horses and cattle;
All the sights of. the hill and the plain
Fly as thick as driving rain;
And ever again, in the wink of an eye,
Painted stations whistle by.

Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,
All by himself and gathering brambles;
Here is a tram who stands and gazes ;
And there is the green for stringing the daises !

Here is a cart run away in the road
Lumping along with a man and load ;
And here is a mill and there is a river :
Each a glimpse and gone for ever !
