Last Words of An Airman
If I should wake no more…
On this earth,
To greet the daily miracle of dawn,
I shall have known much of deepest worth -
So do not weep for me when I am gone;
High service has been mine,
…and Dreaming…
-
Oh, I have soared to realms…
Where stars are gleaming
And raced translucent clouds on silver wing.
I perish, if I perish!
So when I am gone,
…do not then despair…
–
But lift your hearts & live!
-Clara Bernhardt-
