KNIGHTS OF THE AIR
Jessica Pryse Arthur
Up from the airports the swift ships are zooming
Over the cities and countrysides fair,
Off toward the mountains, where snow peaks are looming,
Upward ye! Forward ye! Knights of the Air!
Over Sahara, where hot sands are sliding,
Over each tropical jungle and lair a ,
Over the forests, where wild things are hiding,
Onward still! Forward still! Knights of the Air!
Over the green glassy seas you are flashing,
Down toward the south polar b regions you bear,
Over far oceans, where icebergs are crashing!
Onward ye! Forward ye! Knights of the Air!
