Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,<\/p>\n
\u00a0And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;<\/p>\n
\u00a0Sunwards I\u2019ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth<\/p>\n
\u00a0Of sun-split clouds \u2013 and done a thousand things<\/p>\n
\u00a0You have not dreamed of – wheeled and soared and swung\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0High in the sunlit silence.\u00a0Hovering there,<\/p>\n
\u00a0I\u2019ve chased the shouting wind along and flung<\/p>\n
\u00a0My eager craft through footless halls of air,<\/p>\n
\u00a0Up, up the long delirious burning blue<\/p>\n
\u00a0I\u2019ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,<\/p>\n
\u00a0Where never lark, or even eagle, flew;<\/p>\n
\u00a0And, while with silent, lifting mind I\u2019ve trod<\/p>\n
\u00a0The high untrespassed sanctity of space,<\/p>\n
\u00a0Put out my hand, and touched the face of god.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
