The iron horse (1890)

The iron horse 1890 illustration

"This is the way we all clasp hands
And race along the golden sands;
School is over and lessons are done,
Come and get brown in the summer sun."

The children in this story have taken a journey on the "iron horse" or steam train to the seaside for a holiday.
