MIGRANT WINGS by RALPH J. DONAHUE

First Line: THEY ARE MOVING DOWN THE STAR-LANES
Last Line: AS THEY FLY!
Subject(s): FLIES;

They are moving down the star-lanes,
Down the star-lanes, curving under;
They are plowing through the darkness
Of the sky.
And the beat of whirring pinions
Makes a faintly sounding thunder
That my heart awakes to answer
As they fly!
