Question

. Read the poem given below and complete its paraphrase with suitable phrases in the given blanks:

This is the night mail crossing border,

Bringing the cheque and the postal order,

Letters for rich , letters for the poor,

The stop at the corner , the girl next door,

Pulling up Bullock a steady climb;

The gradients against her, but she’s on time

Past cotton grass and moorland boulder

Shelling white steam over her shoulder

Snorting noisily, she passes.

Silent miles of wind – bent grasses.
