ST. PAUL'S AND WOOLWORTH

By Christopher Morley

I stood on the pavement

Where I could admire

Behind the brown chapel

The cream and gold spire.

Above, gilded Lightning

Swam high on his ball —

I saw the noon shadow

The church of St. Paul.

And was there a meaning?

( My fancy would run ),

Saint Paul in the shadow,

Saint Frank in the sun!
