A Boy of Old Manhattan
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
A boy of old Manhattan
A boy as you and I,
Once watched its towers rising
Until they spanned the sky.
A boy of old Manhattan,
With granite in his soul,
Beheld the star of Lincoln
Above his steepled goal.
A boy of old Manhattan
Built upward hour by hour;
The edifice he visioned
Became a nation's tower.
A boy of old Manhattan
A boy as you and I,
Once watched its towers rising
Until they spanned the sky.
A boy of old Manhattan,
With granite in his soul,
Beheld the star of Lincoln
Above his steepled goal.
A boy of old Manhattan
Built upward hour by hour;
The edifice he visioned
Became a nation's tower.
