- "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 footless halls of air.
- Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
- I've topped the wind-swept 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."
