------------------

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
and danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunwards 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.
