High Flight（在线收听）

Oh, I have slipped the ¹⁾surly ²⁾bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the ³⁾tumbling ⁴⁾mirth

Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of; ⁵⁾wheeled and ⁶⁾soared and swung

High in the sun-lit silence. ⁷⁾Hovering there

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager craft through ⁸⁾footless halls of air;

Up, up the long, ⁹⁾delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

Where never ¹⁰⁾lark nor even eagle flew;

And while, with silent lifting mind I’ve ¹¹⁾trod

The high ¹²⁾untrespassed ¹³⁾sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. CE
