Travel Prayer

ALL along the way
  As through the night we go,
I see the little houses
  In lighted row on row–

The flying train goes by
  And sounds its whistle clear,
And all the waiting houses
  They lift their lights and hear:

A thousand homes for miles on miles,
  I press the pane to see;
And each has lights that wait its own
  As my lights wait for me–

All the little homes
  And every one alight!
Lord, keep the people happy
  That wait in them tonight!
