 now behind. Keep the hcnors that we gave
 you, Charlie Lindbergh. Keep the medals and the glory
 and the gain. Keep your Hitler decoration In defiance of . Nation That has borne and bred your
 body, soul, and brain. Keep the thought of what you
 were cone, Charlie Lindgergh When your rushing wings out-
 raced all doubts and fears Keep remembering the story Of . lad who leapt to glory To sustain you in the ccming-on
 of years.
 Take . bow now, Charlie Lind bergh,
 For your way and ours will
 hardly ever meet again. We have loved you well, sky- rover,
 But our boyhood now is over ;. And we wake into . world thas
 calls for men.
