Into the West Into the west with the setting sun, Winged the avions, one by oneg Argonauts of the azure skies, Leaping the sea for a golden prize- Into the cwest. But the prize was only half the lure That urged the ainmen, each so sure His ship would reach the golden isles Over the sea-swept ocean miles- Into the vwest. Glory there was for every one, Winner or no in a task wefll done, Charting the skies o'er' the tossing main Making safer that long air-lane- Into the uwest. Nine huge birds on the starting line, Ready to brave those of the brine, Then 'while the thousands cheered that day, Eight rolled o'er it and four sped away- ' Into the cwest. Four fleet falcons with man-made' power Thundered a hundred miles an hrour, Bearing eight men and a woman fair On through the 'miles of trackless air- Into the Qwest. All through the night of hopes and fears, Through racking hours that seemed 'like years Kinfolk, lovers, old friend-s, and new Waited for word as on they flew- Into the Qwest. Boebel wins, broke the radio wave, Jensen second, the newsboys rave, Theirs is the joy of the earned reward. But what of the other souls that soared- Into the west? Frost and Pedlar-ah, where are they? Scott and Knope-and the girl so gay Who waved her 'kerchief in last goodbye As her namesake man-bird thundsred by- Into the uwest. Erwin is going, fiashes the fword, And off sails the great green Dallas bird, Humming a cheery radio song, Seeking its mates as it skims along- Into the swelst. S, O. S., crackll-es Erwin's wave, Harrowed, awe-struck, helpless to save, The 'world sits horrified-holds its breath, And hears two brave souls plunge to death- Into the cwest. The days crawl by-no hopeful words And- iwafted back 'of the lost Dole-birds, Tell us, oh God of the Air and Sea Where are the seven who soared so free- Into the west? Grimfly the sea its secret keeps, Locked, forever within its deepsg But now we know that seven great souls Have- flown to a landing beyond life's shoals- Into the west. Pedlar and Knope and Scott and: Frost, Intrepid Mildred, wwe know you're lost To us who live on the dusty groundg But-perhaps we envy the path you found- Into the swest. -mrwmvn A r r mu
