The comment length limit means I'll have to post in three batches: This is the Night Mail crossing the border Bringing the cheque and the postal order Letters for the rich, letters for the poor The shop at the corner and the girl next door Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb The gradient's against her, but she is on time __________________________________________________

FileTrekker ::: Favorites  2007-06-24 11:50:49 It's not. I think you're refering to the documentary "Night Mail" which featured a poem written by W. H. Auden which the first verse of this is based upon. __________________________________________________
