The poem is the night mail written by W H AUDEN ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poem "Night Mail" by WH Auden was written in an era  when the system of communication was not highly developed, yet the steam engine was found. The people of that time communicated mostly through letters. So the night name was regarded as the messenger that binds the people who lived in different areas of England and Scotland.  the poet WH Auden has captured nicely with his creative poetic language, how the train moves smoothly, nicely across English landscapes from England to Scotland. On the way of his journey, the train passes the hilly terrain, countryside and industrial cities too.
