II stands upon Its lofty site sds
A Bastille to the view, t
Or some old inquisition built, su
To st. Bartholomew.
Which having served its dark design,
To Superstition's fall, G6.rUi. .'
Remains monument of crime, ..
That dismal City Hall. E..a....
The Empire city well may boast \,
It's palace in the " Park"
1t leaves this old concern of ours


Completely in the dark,
There's scarce town in all the land,
With any court al all, 80
But would cry shame to give the name
To such City Hall.
Has "justice fed to british beasts"


Or does she deign to grace
A barrack which the yilest think,


A nuisance to the place.
The rotten steps all toppling down


'Longside the rusty wall,
Like some old brick-kih half decayed,
Looms out this City Hall.
saw our Mayor there to-day
A worthier can't be named .a.
And, as he viewed the dingy pile,


His Honor seemed ashamed
His magisterial head was bowed,
He needed not our call;
He seemed communing with himself
Is this the City HALL"
See the adorning palaces '- Ia. 5,
Which Uncle Sam has raised,
Which give our city such charm,


That every where tits praised
Yet like a brigand in crowd


OF princes at ball.
Or beggar at the Treasury door,
That wretchsd City Halt!
Why canrwe have coat Of lime,
= Put on the rusty pile,
And change its face Of dungeon gloom
TO something like smile, a..
The grand design is very fine,


But, then, your means are small,
Oh, quite enough to make it clean e.a|
That nasty City Hall si HGa&9t
