    These verses are taken from the poem 'From a railway carriage' first stanza. Can you please rewrite the explanation part in a simpler way for the third grade to learn.

    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.

    Reference to context:
    These lines have been taken from the poem “From a Railway Carriage” written by Robert Louis Stevenson.
    In this poem poet shares his experience of a railway journey with us. He describes it’s speed very amazing. He presents natural senses seen from the window of a railway carriage.

    Explanation:
    Poet says that train runs more quickly than the fairies can fly or the witches can move. When train advances forward it seems as the soldiers are attacking enemy in a battle field. The train rushes on leaving bridges, houses, fences and ditches behind. It also leaves behind the green fields where horses and Cattle are grazing.
