The mail train poem

You're thinking of the classic poem "The Mail Train" by Henry Reed! Here it is:

The mail train rumbles on, Unloading its contents at every station, The letters and the parcels, the bills and the cards, The newspapers and the magazines, the catalogues and the ads.

The mail train rumbles on, Through the night, through the rain, through the snow, Through the hills, through the valleys, through the towns, Through the cities, through the countryside, it goes.

The mail train rumbles on, Carrying the thoughts and the dreams of the people, Carrying the news and the gossip, the hopes and the fears, Carrying the love letters and the bills, the birthday cards and the tears.

The mail train rumbles on, A symbol of connection, of communication, A reminder that we are not alone, A reminder that we are all connected, in this vast and wonderful world.

I hope that brings back some nostalgic memories for you!
