WE HAVE SINNED ...
(Not published; composed 1964)
We have sinned, O merciful IATA!
We have broken Holy Writ!
We have flown a long-range charter
With a somewhat short-range Brit.
He's forgiven us,
He has shriven us,
In the ocean deep and grey
- Deep and grey -
We have washed our sins away.
- We have washed our sins away!
