Description
High Flight Spitfire Philip West
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. Hov’ring 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.
