STAR-DUST (TO A DEAD AVIATOR), by                    
First Line: No more his motor shall climb up the morning
Last Line: Star-dust, and silence, and the infinite skies.
Subject(s): Aviation & Aviators; Science; Scientists


No more his motor shall climb up the morning,
Never again shall the keen racing air
Fan the fine flame in the heart of him scorning
All but the highest adventure to dare.

Swept into space with his glory around him,
Winged with the fire of sublime sacrifice,
There on the plain where they tell that they found him—
Star-dust, and silence, and the infinite skies.
