Rondel for Apollo 11:
Here Men from the Planet Earth

Here men from the planet Earth
First set foot upon the moon
That day we left our earth's cocoon
And flew beyond our place of birth.

Our flight reached apogee, hovered, reversed;
Our trajectory took us home too soon
When, once, men from the planet Earth
Had first set foot upon the moon.

One day we'll prove once more our worth
And launch upon that fiery plume
Our interrupted voyage resume
Again win free of gravity's curse.

Here men from the planet Earth
First set foot upon the moon.

--Geoffrey A. Landis
