Read the following poem and answer the question that follows. "I Like to See It Lap the Miles" by Emily Dickinson

I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step

Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare

To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill

And neigh like Boanerges;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.

This poem describes a train as if it were a horse. Examine the imagery of the stanza in bold. What does it describe?

The rumbling a train makes as it passes by
The smell of train tracks after a train has gone
The sound a train makes as it blows its horn
The feeling of being on a train for a vacation
