lol, never heard about this. Glorious.

[Krye]

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

And danced the skies on leather-skinned wings;

Moonward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of moon-split clouds, - and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung

High in the moonlit silence. Hov'ring there,

I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My eager wings 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 wing, and touched the face of God.

Manly tears... truly...
