To you, hovering ‘twixt youth’s and man’s estate,
You clear-brained, gentle-eyed boys,
Who, like eaglets, with untrained pinions,
Sprang from your sheltered nests,
To stay the Vulture’s claws;
To you, conquerors of the air,
With man-made wings,
Who paid the great price,
That right should prevail,
This homage is paid to the memory,
Of one of Yale, 1918,
And to all
Who won’t come back.
Written by Mr. Edward M. Morange for his deceased son, Leonard.
