They’re building a skyscraper
Near our street.//
Its height will be nearly
One thousand feet.//
It covers completely
a city block.//
They drilled its foundation
Through solid rock.//
They made its framework
Of great steel beams/
With riveted joints
And welded beams.//
And swarm of workmen
Strain/ and strive/
Like busy bees
In a honeyed hive.//
Higher and higher/
The tall tower rises/
Like Jacob’s ladder/
Into the skies.//
James S. Tippett
