  2. that new to  me  

  3. Sorry, I don't know it :)

  4. Ace has got it right- It's called "From a Railway Carriage"...

  5. Never heard that one before.

  6. Written by Robert Louis Stevenson,

    FASTER than fairies, faster than witches,

    Bridges and houses, hedges and ditches;

    And charging along like troops in a battle,

    All through the meadows the horses and cattle:

    All of the sights of the hill and the plain

    Fly as thick as driving rain;

    And ever again, in the wink of an eye,

    Painted stations whistle by.

    Here is a child who clambers and scrambles,

    All by himself and gathering brambles;

    Here is a tramp who stands and gazes;

    And there is the green for stringing the daisies!

    Here is a cart run away in the road

    Lumping along with man and load;

    And here is a mill and there is a river:

    Each a glimpse and gone for ever!


  7. It's from R.L Stephenson's "From A Railway Carriage but without checking, I can't remember what comes next.

  9. No, sorry, but I do not think that I learnt this at school, it does not sound familiar at all.
