The poet shares his experience of a Railway Journey with us. He says that the train runs faster than the fairies and witches. The bridges, houses, rows of thorny plants, and ditches pass by in a moment. It rushes through common grasslands where horses and cattle are grazing. Painted stations, a child gathering blackberries a homeless person who stares at the train, garlands of daisies, a loaded cart, a river, and a mill all pass by in a very short moment.

From a Railway Carriage Summary in Tamil
இந்த கவிதை கவிஞரின் இளமைப்பருவ ரயில் பயணத்தைப் பற்றியது. ஒரு சிறிய குழந்தையின் கண்களால் காணப்பட்டது இந்தக் கவிதை. கவிஞர் இரயிலின் வேகத்தை தேவதைகள் பறக்கும் விதம் மற்றும் மந்திரவாதிகளின் இயக்கத்துடன் ஒப்பிடுகிறார். இரயிலின் இயக்கம் போர்க்களத்தில் வீரர்கள் போரிடுவதைப் போல் தெரிகிறது. இரயில் தனக்கு பின்னால் உள்ள எல்லாவற்றையும் அதன் பாதையை நகர்த்தும். அவர் ரயிலின் ஜன்னலில் இருந்து பார்த்தக் காட்சிகள் தன்னிடம் வராது என்று அவர் முடிவு செய்கிறார்.
