HEEL, "HINDENBURG!"

What is that see on high? Seems like some strange bird, Some overbearing, dictatorial lord Of land and sea and sky! See how it races against the wind What strange realms it hastes to find? Withal a volume full of grace, It doth set an unusual pace In the progress of migration Hark! If thou wilt listen, hear How the wind drives the clouds of day clear Out of a folding starry night -. The Hindenburg will pit its might Against the romantic forces of darkness. Now 8 priest of God stands At the altar of the clouds And, as Pilate he washes his hands Miles above the crowdS With the stars for candles And thunder for music He chants the psalms of an ancient prophet At Vespertide. ... O Godl When will wonders cease?i
 How long wilt Thou permit
 Thy mortal creature to submit
 Creative substitutes in Thy place?
 Holy Mass above the clouds
 Between angels and mortal crowds
 Mid thunders and lightnings placed
 How the Zeppelin has graced
 The story of progressl
