MY CITY, by                    
First Line: Tenderness and pity
Last Line: And my god.
Alternate Author Name(s): Wood, Charles Erskine Scoot, Mrs.
Subject(s): City Planning; Love


Tenderness and pity
And love alone
Shall build my city,
Stone on stone.

Those beneath a steeple
Of whirling air
Shall be my people
Praying there.

Who shall make love cover
Both stars and sod --
He shall be my lover
And my god.
