From A Railway Carriage: Critical Application

'From A Railway Carriage' was composed by Robert Louise Stevenson who was a Scottish writer. This poem was published in Robert Louise Stevenson's volume of poetry for children. This poem has two stanzas and the poet has expressed his sights( that he notices ) through them while he was traveling in the train.

First Stanza expresses the motion of the train which is faster than fairies and faster than witches. Like a charging troops in a battle the train is moving forward through the grassy field where horses and cattles are grazing. It also leaves behind bridges, houses, hedges and ditches. The train is moving so fast that when it crosses the hill and the plain it flashes away all the sights like a drving rain. After that it approaches to the station by whistling and it looked like painted pictures.

Next stanza the poet finds a child who is collecting brambles and a tramp who is gazing to him. He sees some ladies are making garlands of daisies. And there is a cart full with load running on the road. He also notices mill and a river. All these visuals appeared and disappeared all of a sudden, and he could never see them again.

The poem is written in rhyming couplets and the rhyming patterns is 'AA BB CC DD'. The poet has used some poetic devices in this poem and they are, 'simile', 'alliteration', 'assonance'. We the reader also find two imageries and they are 'visual imagery' and 'auditory imagery' like sound of the 'whistle'. Visual imageries are 'fairies', 'meadows', 'painted station', 'mill', 'river' and so on.
