Oklahoma mourns her sons today, And the nation mourns no less; We breathe their names with reverence And our tones bespeak distress. One sailed the air and circled the globe With skill and wondrous daring, The other encircled the hearts of men With strings that now are tearing. Upon the crowded stage of life, Each had made his bow, In his chosen work he took the lead And won laurels for his brow. They left this life together, And with no one to tell the story They sailed to another land, To realms of greater glory. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A MAGAZINE SONNET by RUSSELL HILLARD LOINES SONNET: 17 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE THE DESPAIRING LOVER by WILLIAM WALSH (1663-1707) BY WAY OF THE STARS by LEVI BISHOP LITTLE GREGORY by THEODORE BOTREL IN FREIBURG STATION by RUPERT BROOKE |
