Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughtered-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 hall of air.
Up, up the delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept hights with easy grace
Where never lark or eagle flew.
And, while with silent uplifting mind, I've trod
The untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
