TWO RONDEAUX TO NEW YORK: 1. WINTER by MAY FOLWELL HOISINGTON

First Line: I LOVE NEW YORK IN WINTER TIME
Last Line: I LOVE NEW YORK!
Subject(s): NEW YORK CITY; WINTER; MANHATTAN; NEW YORK, NEW YORK; THE BIG APPLE;
I love New York in Winter time,
When streets are slush of snow and rime,
And taxis bump and skid along,
And millions into subways throng,
And other millions from them climb.

I almost feel that such sublime,
Courageous patience transcends crime,
And yet I hail it in my song --
I love New York.

I also sing the box where I'm
Directed to insert my dime
Upon the bus; its teeth are strong,
It bites my coin, then rings a gong;
Grasping, but giving back a chime --
I love New York!
