ZEPP-FLIGHTING IN THE HAUTES ALPES.

To J.M.

Recall, dear John, a certain day

Back in the times of long ago—

A stuffy old estaminet

Under the great peaks fledged with snow;

The Spring that set our hearts rejoicing

As up the serried mountains' bar

We climbed our tortuous way Rolls-Roycing

From Gap to Col Bayard.
