The white swan fell in mortal plummet
From space-age technologic summit,
Rolls-Royce engine wild aflame
As down on Paris suburb came
With conic beak and delta wing
Titanium bird, no more to sing.
The British and the French unite
With Germans in their grief tonight:
For Europe's supersonic pride
With thirteen and a hundred died.
