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 sunlit 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 footless halls of air.
Up,up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never a lark, or even eagle flew-
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untraspasses sancitity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
