MY CITY by SARA BARD FIELD

First Line: TENDERNESS AND PITY
Last Line: AND MY GOD.
Subject(s): CITY PLANNING; LOVE;
Tenderness and pity
And love alone
Shall build my city,
Stone on stone.

Those beneath a steeple
Of whirling air
Shall be my people
Praying there.

Who shall make love cover
Both stars and sod --
He shall be my lover
And my god.
