The Whistle Of a Train in Cincinnati

By: Lazar Lazinsky

When I was just a little boy,
I had a trip and did enjoy,
We bought the tickets on the train,
I saw my country through the pane.
It was the best of times and dreams,
The train sped past quick rushing steams,
The whistle sounded like a song,
Which moved us happily along.
I had a smile upon my face,
Because we were in this great race,
My mother, brother and my friends...
All passed along their own legends...
Now I hear the whistle again
And I wake up and look for a train,
I recall my childhood at this time
And again I'm so young and fine.
