The Classic Aviation
Poem
![[Cockpit]](images20/image12b.jpg)
| 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 - and wheeled and soared and swung |
| High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there |
| I have chased the shouting winds along and flung |
| My eager craft through the footless halls of air. |
| Up, Up the long delirious, burning blue |
| I've topped the wind - swept heights with easy grace |
| Where never lark, nor 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. |
