High Flight Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the sides 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. Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air Up, up and long delirious, burning blue. I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew. And, while with silent, listing mind I've trod the high trespassed sanctity of space Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. Author unknown. Service Information
