Lindbergh Flight

To fly from New York to Paree
Nonstop. It had never been done.
There was a lot of prize money
That would be paid to the first one.
Nineteen twenty seven in May,
From Long Island, he in his plane
Looked to the east and flew away,
His life never the same again,
As two days later there appeared
The Eiffel Tower and success.
He landed as the masses cheered,
The hero that the skies did bless.

Charles Lindbergh flew many a flight.
One put him in the world limelight.
