OUR BOY.
Wings and the Boy I sing, who, braving Fate And the tempestuous Sea-god's ancient hate, Three thdusand miles on wings unswerving sped Thro’ ice-barbed winds, oVr moving mountains dread, And to the stricken watchers on the shore Of sorrowing France, Columbia's message bore. Wings and the Boy! Companions linked as one. Prince of the Air, Columbia's bravest son, Modest as brave—the glory of his deed Joyously sharing with his winged steed, Named for i gallant Knight —by happy 1 chance, The Spirit of St. Louis, King of France. —Oliver Herford, in Life .(.New York),
