The Lost Car Seated one day in the tonneau, I was timid and ill at case; For I heard a sort of rumbling And a kind of a warning wheeze. I know not what struck my chauffeur, Nor what he had struck, nor whom— But I heard a bombilation Like the sound of the crack of Doom! It flooded the crimson twilight Like the crash of a rending sky! And I lay on the burning With the motor across m feted cries and moaning, ‘¢ a man who scolds his wife; It seemed an unending smash-up That would speedily end my life It linked all my breaks and bruises Into one perfect pain; And it rumbled and whizzed and guggled, As if it would come again I have sought, but I seck it vainly, The reason for that great sound That came from the soul of the motor As it threw me on the ground It may be a first-class earthquake Could bring such a sound to men; And it may be that only in nightmares I shall hear that noise a —Carolyn Wells, in Harper's Weekly.
