“Fleet Street” by Shane Leslie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪 (24 Sep 188514 Aug 1971)
I never see the newsboys run
Amid the whirling street,
With swift untiring feet,
To cry the latest venture done,
But I expect one day to hear
Them cry the crack of doom
And risings from the tomb,
With great Archangel Michael near;
And see them running from the Fleet
As messengers of God,
With Heaven’s tidings shod
About their brave unwearied feet.
