AIR FORCES MEMORIAL TO THE MISSING

Inscription
NORTH WINDOW: IF I CLIMB UP INTO HEAVEN, THOU ART THERE;/ IF I GO TO HELL, THOU ART THERE ALSO./ IF I TAKE THE WINGS OF THE MORNING/ AND REMAIN IN THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE SEA,/ EVEN THERE SHALL THY HAND LEAD ME;/ AND THY RIGHT HAND SHALL HOLD ME.

GALLERY WINDOW: THE FIRST RAYS OF THE DAWNING SUN/ SHALL TOUCH ITS PILLARS,/ AND AS THE DAY ADVANCES/ AND THE LIGHT GROWS STRONGER,/ YOU SHALL READ THE NAMES/ ENGRAVED ON THE STONE/ OF THOSE WHO SAILED ON THE ANGRY SKY/ AND SAW HARBOUR NO MORE./ NO GRAVESTONE IN YEW-DARK CHURCHYARD/ SHALL MARK THEIR RESTING PLACE;/ THEIR BONES LIE IN THE FORGOTTEN CORNERS/ OF EARTH AND SEA./ BUT, THAT WE MAY NOT LOSE THEIR MEMORY/ WITH FADING YEARS, THEIR MONUMENT STANDS HERE,/ HERE, WHERE THE TREES TROOP DOWN TO RUNNYMEDE/ MEADOW OF MAGNA CARTA, FIELD OF FREEDOM,/ NEVER SAW YOU SO FITTING A MEMORIAL,/ PROOF THAT THE PRINCIPALS ESTABLISHED HERE/ ARE STILL DEAR TO THE HEARTS OF MEN./ HERE THEY NOW STAND, CONTRASTED AND ALIKE,/ THE FIELD OF FREEDOM'S BIRTH, AND THE MEMORIAL/ TO FREEDOM'S WINNING./ AS THE EVENING COMES,/ AND MISTS, LIKE QUIET GHOSTS, RISE FROM THE RIVER BED,/ AND CLIMB THE HILL TO WANDER THROUGH THE CLOISTERS,/ WE SHALL NOT FORGET THEM. ABOVE THE MIST/ WE SHALL SEE THE MEMORIAL STILL, AND OVER IT/ THE CROWN AND SINGLE STAR. AND WE SHALL PRAY/ AS THE MISTS RISE UP AND THE AIR GROWS DARK/ THAT WE MAY WEAR/ AS BRAVE A HEART AS THEY.
