A
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
B
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
A
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
B
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
C
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
D
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
C
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
D
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....
 
 
E
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
F
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
E
Where never lark nor ever eagle flew
G
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
F
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
G
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
