An Aeroplane

Look at an aeroplane
Up in the sky,
Seems like a giant lark
Soaring on high.
See! on its outspread wing
Flashes the light;
There sits the pilot brave,
Guiding its flight.
Hark! what a whirring song
Comes from its throat,
Purr, purr of the engine,
Its only note.
Now! high and higher yet,
Upward it goes,
Till but a tiny speck
Against heaven it shows.
Oh! here it is again,
Big as before,
Gracefully gliding down
To earth once more.
