FLEET STREET by SHANE LESLIE

First Line: I NEVER SEE THE NEWSBOYS RUN
Last Line: ABOUT THEIR BRAVE UNWEARIED FEET.
Subject(s): LONDON; NEWSPAPERS; JOURNALISM; JOURNALISTS;
I never see the newsboys run
Amid the whirling street,
With swift untiring feet,
To cry the latest venture done,
But I expect one day to hear
Them cry the crack of doom
And risings from the tomb,
With great Archangel Michael near;
And see them running from the Fleet
As messengers of God,
With Heaven's tidings shod
About their brave unwearied feet.
