Out through the hills of midnight	A
Hurtling and thundering on	B
	-
The night express from the outer world	C
Speeds for the open of dawn	D
	-
Out of the past and gloom wrack	E
Out of the dim and yore	F
Freighted as train or caravan	G
Was never freighted before	F
	-
Built when the Sphinx's query	H
Was new on the lips of peace	I
Hurled through the aching and hollow years	J
Till time shall have release	I
	-
Stealing and swift as a shadow	K
Sinuous urging and blind	L
Unpent as a joy or the flight of a bird	M
With oblivion behind	L
	-
Down to the morrow country	H
Into the unknown land	N
And the Driver grips the throttle bar	O
Our lives are in his hand	N
	-
The sleeping hills awake	P
A tremor a dread a roar	F
The terror is flying is come is past	Q
The hills can sleep once more	F
	-
A moment the silence throbs	I
The dark has a pulse of fire	R
And then the wonder of time is gone	D
A wraith and a desire	R
	-
Demonish toiling grim	S
In the ruddy furnace flare	T
While the Driver fingers the throttle bar	O
Who stands at his elbow there	T
	-
Can it be this thing like a shred	U
Of the firmament torn away	V
Is a boarded train that Death and his crew	W
Consorted to waylay	V
	-
His wreckers grinning and lean	X
Are lurking at every curve	Y
But the Driver plays with the throttle bar	O
He has the iron nerve	Y
	-
We are travelling safe and warm	Z
With our little baggage of cares	I
Why tease the peril that yet would come	A2
Unbidden and unawares	I
	-
The lonely are lonely still	B2
And the friend has another friend	C2
Only the idle heart inquires	I
The distance and the end	C2
	-
We pant up the climbing grade	D2
And coast on the tangent mile	E2
While the Driver toys with the throttle bar	O
And gathers the track in his smile	E2
	-
The dreamer weary of dreams	I
The lover by love released	F2
Stricken and whole and eager and sad	G2
Beauty and waif and priest	F2
	-
All these adventure forth	H2
Strangers though side by side	I2
With the tramp of time in the roaring wheels	I
And haste in their shadowy stride	I2
	-
The star that races the hills	I
Shows yet the night is deep	J2
But the Driver humors the throttle bar	O
So you and I may sleep	J2
	-
For He of the sleepless hand	N
Will drive till the night is done	K2
Will watch till morning springs from the sea	I
And the rails stand gold in the sun	K2
	-
Then he will slow to a stop	L2
The tread of the driving rod	M2
When the night express rolls into the dawn	D
For the Driver's name is God	M2
