The Afterlife of Airships

Here the R101 still lounges

At its mooring mast,

And the Akron and Macon

Lie side by side in the shade,

Their great dusty hulls

Overgrown with weeds.

And the Hindenburg

Is not all smoke and ash,

But floats peacefully,

Barn swallows wheeling

Through its shadow,

Its huge ghostly outline

Basking like some prize

Melon in the morning sun.
