First Line: Astride the wings of flying birds mechanic
Last Line: And some fly on to eternity.
Subject(s): Aviation & Aviators
Astride the wings of flying birds mechanic
Wild spirits ride;
Over the clouds of billowy waves titanic
Swiftly they glide.
And all around
Down to the ground
Go the static steeds of harnessed sound,
Each a message from the outward bound;
As some course over an uncharted sea,
And some fly on to eternity.
