From alien realm these monstrous maggots creep
Their grim empyrean transits while we sleep,
To murder and to maim their helpless foe
Slumbering innocently far below.
They skulk across the town with engines stilled,
Yet this night’s mission shall go unfulfilled -
Though silent and unseen, we know they’re there.
Hark! Now! Our lads wreak vengeance in the air!
