SONGS OF NEW YORK: NEW BUILDINGS by CHARLES HANSON TOWNE

First Line: THE TURRETS LEAP HIGHER AND HIGHER
Last Line: THE WOODPECKERS OF THE TOWN.
Subject(s): BUILDINGS & BUILDERS; NEW YORK CITY; MANHATTAN; NEW YORK, NEW YORK; THE BIG APPLE;
THE turrets leap higher and higher,
And the little old homes go down;
The workmen pound on the iron and steel --
The woodpeckers of the town.
