Unseal the city fountains	A
And let the waters flow	B
In coolness from the mountains	A
Unto the plains below	B
My brain is parched and erring	C
The pavement hot and dry	D
And not a breath is stirring	C
Beneath the burning sky	D
	-
The belles have all departed	E
There does not linger one	F
Of course the mart's deserted	G
By every mother's son	F
Except the street musician	F
And men of lesser note	H
Whose only earthly mission	F
Seems but to toil and vote	H
	-
A woman blessings on her	I
Beneath my window see	J
She's singing what an honor	I
Oh Woodman spare that tree	J
Her man the air is killing	C
His organ's out of tune	K
They're gone with my last shilling See Notes	L
To Florence's saloon See Notes	L
	-
New York is most compactly	B
Of brick and mortar made	M
Thermometer exactly	B
One hundred in the shade	M
A furnace would be safer	I
Than this my letter room	N
Where gleams the sun a wafer	I
About to seal my doom	N
	-
The town looks like an ogre	I
The country like a bride	O
Wealth hies to Saratoga	P
And Worth to Sunny side See Notes	L
While fashion seeks the islands	Q
Encircled by the sea	B
Taste find the Hudson Highlands	Q
More beautiful and free	B
	-
The omnibuses rumble	B
Along their cobbled way	R
The twelve inside more humble	B
Than he who takes the pay	R
From morn till midnight stealing	C
His horses come and go	B
The only creatures feeling	C
The luxury of wo See Notes	L
	-
We editors of papers	S
Who coin our brains for bread	T
By solitary tapers	S
While others doze in bed	T
Have tasks as sad and lonely	B
However wrong or right	U
But with this difference only	B
The horses rest at night	U
	-
From twelve till nearly fifty	B
I've toiled and idled not	V
And though accounted thrifty	B
I'm scarcely worth a groat	H
However I inherit	W
What few have ever gained	X
A bright and cheerful spirit	W
That never has complained	X
	-
A stillness and a sadness	Y
Pervade the City Hall	B
And speculating madness	Y
Has left the street of Wall	B
The Union Square looks really	B
Both desolate and dark	Z
And that's the case or nearly	B
From Battery to Park	Z
	-
Had I a yacht like Miller	I
That skimmer of the seas	A2
A wheel rigged on a tiller See Notes	L
And a fresh gunwale breeze	A2
A crew of friends well chosen	F
And all a taunto I	D
Would sail for regions frozen	F
I'd rather freeze than fry	D
	-
Oh this confounded weather	I
As some one sang or said	T
My pen thought but a feather	I
Is heavier than lead	T
At every pore I'm oosing	Z
I'm caving in to day	R
My plumptitude I'm losing	Z
And dripping fast away	R
	-
I'm weeping like the willow	B
That droops in leaf and bough	B2
Let Croton's sparkling billow	B
Flow through the city now	B2
And as becomes her station	F
The muse will close her prayer	C2
God save the Corporation	F
Long live the valiant Mayor See Notes	L
