From a railway carriageFrom a railway carriageBy Louis Stevenson(1850 1894)By Louis Stevenson(1850 1894)

Faster than fairies, faster than witches,Faster than fairies, faster than witches,Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;And charging along like troops in a battle,And charging along like troops in a battle,All through the meadows the horses and cattle:All through the meadows the horses and cattle:All of the sights of the hill and the plainAll of the sights of the hill and the plainFly as thick as driving rain;Fly as thick as driving rain;And ever again, in the wink of an eye,And ever again, in the wink of an eye,Painted stations whistle by.Painted stations whistle by.Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,All by himself and gathering brambles;All by himself and gathering brambles;Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;And there is the green for stringing the daisies!And there is the green for stringing the daisies!Here is a cart run away in the roadHere is a cart run away in the roadLumping along with man and load;Lumping along with man and load;And here is a mill and there is a river:And here is a mill and there is a river:Each a glimpse and gone forever!Each a glimpse and gone forever!

Many ways to travel by Tony Mitton

There are may ways to travelAnd one that I like Is to zoom down a hillOn a mountain bike

There are many ways to travelAnd another that is nice is to slide on a sledgeOn the snow and ice

There are may ways to travelAnd isn’t it funTo sail on the seaIn the wind and sun?

There are many ways to travelBut the best by farIs to ride on a rocketTo a distant star.
