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—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
 
halls of air. 
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue 
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, 
Where never lark or ever 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. 
John Gillespie Magee, Jr., September 3, 1941
