And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
of sun-split clouds, - and done a hundred things
My eager craft through footless halls of air...

Where never lark nor ever eagle flew -
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
