| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| In a cloud of fiery pale chemicals | B |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| to the rapid rolling of thousands of small blue drums | C |
| descending out of the mackerel sky | D |
| over the glittering grandstand of harbor water | E |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp pl ease come flying | A |
| - | |
| Whistles pennants and smoke are blowing The ships | F |
| are signaling cordially with multitudes of flags | G |
| rising and falling like birds all over the harbor | E |
| Enter two rivers gracefully bearing | A |
| countless little pellucid jellies | H |
| in cut glass epergnes dragging with silver chains | I |
| The flight is safe the weather is all arranged | J |
| The waves are running in verses this fine morning | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Please come flying | A |
| - | |
| Come with the pointed toe of each black shoe | K |
| trailing a sapphire highlight | L |
| with a black capeful of butterfly wings and bon mots | M |
| with heaven knows how many angels all riding | A |
| on the broad black brim of your hat | N |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| - | |
| Bearing a musical inaudible abacus | O |
| a slight censorious frown and blue ribbons | P |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| Facts and skyscrapers glint in the tide Manhattan | Q |
| is all awash with morals this fine morning | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp so please come flying | A |
| - | |
| Mounting the sky with natural heroism | R |
| above the accidents above the malignant movies | H |
| the taxicabs and injustices at large | S |
| while horns are resounding in your beautiful ears | T |
| that simultaneously listen to | K |
| a soft uninvented music fit for the musk deer | U |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| - | |
| For whom the grim museums will behave | V |
| like courteous male bower birds | W |
| for whom the agreeable lions lie in wait | X |
| on the steps of the Public Library | Y |
| eager to rise and follow through the doors | Z |
| up into the reading rooms | A2 |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| We can sit down and weep we can go shopping | A |
| or play at a game of constantly being wrong | B2 |
| with a priceless set of vocabularies | A2 |
| or we can bravely deplore but please | A2 |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| - | |
| With dynasties of negative constructions | A2 |
| darkening and dying around you | K |
| with grammar that suddenly turns and shines | A2 |
| like flocks of sandpipers flying | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
| - | |
| Come like a light in the white mackerel sky | D |
| come like a daytime comet | C2 |
| with a long unnebulous train of words | A2 |
| from Brooklyn over the Brooklyn Bridge on this fine morning | A |
| nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp please come flying | A |
