Pilots' Prayer
HIGH FLIGHT

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and daced 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/ Hov'ring there,
I've Chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up thelong, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind Ive trod
The high untrespasses sanctity of space, put out my hand, and touched the face of
God.

John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
