LT. FRANK MURCHISON MOORE, U.S.R.
AERIAL ARTILLERY OBSERVER
7TH FIELD ARTILLERY 88TH AERO SQUADRON
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
"GONE WEST!" OVER THE PURPLE HILLS.
BEYOND THE SOFTLY GLOWING RIM OF
LIFE'S SPENT DAY. THE WARRIOR'S
SPIRIT WINGS ITS FLIGHT! OUT OF THE
MORNING, ACROSS THE WHITE ARCHWAY
OF NOONTIDE, DOWN TO THE SUNSET!
OUT OF THE DIN AND CLAMOR, OUT
OF THE BITTERNESS AND STRIFE,
OUT OF THE FIERCE PASSION OF THE
COMBAT, INTO THE DREAMLESS SILENCE
WHOSE SHADOWS MARK THE PATHWAY
TO THE STARS! OUT OF THE AGONY OF
LIFE'S GETHSEMANE, OVER THE QUAKING
SUMMIT OF CALVARY, INTO THE REALM
OF GLORY WHERE GOD'S BANNERS NEVER
FURL, WHERE VICTORY IS SURE! SO THE
STAINLESS KNIGHT OF A STAINLESS
CAUSE MOVES DOWN THE WEST, WHERE
EARTH'S LAST GLIMMER FADES AND
DIES AND INTO GOD'S SPREADING DAWN
WHOSE LIGHT IS ETERNAL, WHOSE
BREATH IS COOL AND SWEET.
G.M.B.
