To the City of Bombay	A
	-
	-
The Cities are full of pride	B
Challenging each to each	C
This from her mountain side	B
That from her burthened beach	C
	-
They count their ships full tale	D
Their corn and oil and wine	E
Derrick and loom and bale	D
And rampart's gun flecked line	E
City by City they hail	D
quot Hast aught to match with mine quot	B
	-
And the men that breed from them	F
They traffic up and down	G
But cling to their cities' hem	F
As a child to their mother's gown	G
	-
When they talk with the stranger bands	H
Dazed and newly alone	I
When they walk in the stranger lands	H
By roaring streets unknown	I
Blessing her where she stands	H
For strength above their own	I
	-
On high to hold her fame	J
That stands all fame beyond	B
By oath to back the same	J
Most faithful foolish fond	B
Making her mere breathed name	J
Their bond upon their bond	B
	-
So thank I God my birth	K
Fell not in isles aside	B
Waste headlands of the earth	K
Or warring tribes untried	B
But that she lent me worth	K
And gave me right to pride	B
	-
Surely in toil or fray	A
Under an alien sky	L
Comfort it is to say	A
quot Of no mean city am I quot	B
	-
Neither by service nor fee	M
Come I to mine estate	B
Mother of Cities to me	M
For I was born in her gate	B
Between the palms and the sea	M
Where the world end steamers wait	B
	-
Now for this debt I owe	N
And for her far borne cheer	O
Must I make haste and go	N
With tribute to her pier	O
	-
And she shall touch and remit	B
After the use of kings	P
Orderly ancient fit	B
My deep sea plunderings	P
And purchase in all lands	P
And this we do for a sign	E
Her power is over mine	E
And mine I hold at her hands	P
