Sleep sister sleep. Your travelin' days aren't done Though fiery feathers earthward fell; Like waxen wings undone. Sleep sister,sleep. The Nation weeps for you; In every heart's the memory; Of a smiling, waving crew. Sleep sister, sleep. Your mission did not end; Though now you sleep beneath the waves; You'll challenge stars again. tjames '86 The problem with this one is in the first stanza repeating the word done...I was thinking gone...done Your tavelin' days aren't gone; Though fiery feathers earthward fell; Like waxen wings undone...better?
