First Line: New york, I love you - dog-days, too
Last Line: New york, I love you!
Subject(s): New York City; Summer; Manhattan; New York, New York; The Big Apple
New York, I love you -- dog-days, too;
When all your concrete canons stew
The noon-day hordes that ebb and flow;
While deep in tunnels thousands go,
Still shines for some your harbour view.
The cleansing sea sends breezes through
Each island street and avenue;
Because for you sea-sirens blow.
New York, I love you.
For all your towers still rising new,
Your pinnacles that pierce the blue
Of summer skies, and shadows throw
To cool the hurrying crowds below;
For nights mosquito-less in you,
New York, I love you!
