Hi Fli t
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
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wing-swept heights with easy grace
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
