《沒有我不肯坐的火車》是曾卓的壹首詩。再追溯，來自美國詩人米萊的詩歌“Travel”。附上兩首原作如下：
沒有我不肯坐的火車
曾卓
在病中多少次夢想著
坐著火車去作長途旅行
壹如少年時喜愛的那句詩：
“沒有我不肯坐的火車
也不管它往哪兒開”
也不管它往哪兒開
到我去過的地方
去尋找溫暖和記憶
到我沒有去過的地方
去尋找驚異智慧和夢想
也不管它往哪兒開
當我少年的時候
就將汽笛長鳴當做親切的呼喚
飛馳的列車
永遠帶給我激勵和渴望
此刻在病床上
口中常常念著
“沒有我不肯坐的火車”
耳中飛輪在轟響
臉上滿是熱淚
起伏的心潮應合著列車的震蕩

Travel
Edna St. Vincent Millay
The railroad track is miles away,
And the day is loud with voices speaking,
Yet there isn't a train goes by all day
But I hear its whistle shrieking.
All night there isn't a train goes by,
Though the night is still for sleep and dreaming,
But I see its cinders red on the sky,
And hear its engine steaming.
My heart is warm with the friends I make,
And better friends I'll not be knowing;
Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take,
No matter where it's going.
