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 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.

- Pilot Officer John G. Magee Jr
