High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
and danced the skies
on laughter-silvered wings
Sunward I've climbed and joined
the tumbnling mirth
of sunsplit 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 windswept heights
with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew,
And while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the Face of God.
