Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFGH IJKL KMCM CNOP| My dear railway station my treasure | A |
| Of meetings and partings my friend | B |
| In times of hard trials and pleasure | A |
| Your favours have been without end | B |
| - | |
| My scarf would wrap up my whole being | C |
| The train would pull up with deep sighs | D |
| The muzzles of brash harpies leering | C |
| Would puff wet white steam in our eyes | D |
| - | |
| I'd sit at your side for a moment | E |
| A hug and a kiss brief and rough | F |
| Farewell then my joy and my torment | G |
| I'm going conductor I'm off | H |
| - | |
| And shunting bad weather and sleepers | I |
| The west would break open I'd feel | J |
| It grab me with snowflakes to keep me | K |
| From falling down under the wheels | L |
| - | |
| A whistle dies down echoed weakly | K |
| Another flies from distant tracks | M |
| A train comes past bare platforms sweeping | C |
| A blizzard of many hunched backs | M |
| - | |
| And twilight is rearing to go | C |
| And lured by the smoke and the steam | N |
| The wind and the field rush and now | O |
| I wish I could be one of them | P |
