HIGH FLIGHT by JOHN GILLSPIE MAGIE, JR.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun split clouds And done a hundred things you have not dreamed of Wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along And flung my eager craft through the footless halls of air Up up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod the high untresspassed sanctity of space Put out my hand, and touched the face of God
