Who is great among the great? One who did not hesitate. Who doth kings and rulers greet, Casting honors at his feet? To them with thy question go For they seem to think they know Our Lindy! Who is great on earth, in sky, When he does or does not fly? Ask the folks both sides the sea, All but one man will agree; There is one who doth not know And to him thou must not go— Our Lindy! Who doth kings and rulers greet? Who doth nations seek to meet? Conqueror of air and sky Who across the sea did fly; One there is among the great, One who did not hesitate; Conqueror of fog and sleet, Hero now the world doth fête— Our Lindy! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHISTLE, AND I'LL COME TO YOU by ROBERT BURNS FEBRUARY IN ROME by EDMUND WILLIAM GOSSE GO NOW' by PHILIP EDWARD THOMAS THE BASE OF ALL METAPHYSICS by WALT WHITMAN GREATER LOVE by ANTIPATER OF SIDON THE SONG OF THE ILL-BELOVED; TO PAUL LEAUTARD by GUILLAUME APOLLINAIRE |
