This is from the poem ‘From a railway carriage’ by "Robert Louis Stevenson". The poem explains the beauty of a train from a railway carriage. The train moves with great speed and the speed of the train is compared with the speed of fairies and witches.

He explained how the train crosses the houses, bridges, horses, cattle and green fields with great speed.

He beautifully compares this with the train which leaves all the things behind and moves forward with greater speed.
