A Modern Wonder: Campbell’s Block

You may look but look in vain For stores with such immense pane; All other shops they do surpass With their enormous lights of glass.

One night by chance through them we gazed But we did quickly stand amazed; Three moons they did beauteous glow, And gleams so lovely they did throw.

But a still more wond’rous story: Mid day showed three suns in glory; At the sight we scarce could gaze, So full of brilliancy the rays.

We had to curtain off the glory; If you don’t believe this wond’rous story Ask Editor of the Tribune About this tale of sun and moon.

Which did bewilder McIntyre Gazing on mighty orbs of fire; Eclipsing the electric light So brilliant in their glorious might.

Luminaries no more invade, Excluded now by window shade; Pray think that this is no intrusion, This tale of optical illusion.
