Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings
Sunward Ive climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed off wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence, Hovring there
Ive chased the shouting winds along and flung my eager craft
through footless halls of air
Up up the long delirious burning blue
Ive topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew
And while with silent lifting mind Ive trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God
By John Gillespie Magee jr
