IN A RAILROAD STATION

Sara Teasdale

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.
