The poem was written by a young pilot in 1941—it has been called the most famous aviation poem ever written. The composer is very in tune with the message of the poem—an inspired piece.Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirthOf sun-split clouds—and done a hundred thingsYou have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swungHigh in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring thereI’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flungMy eager craft through footless halls of air.Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy graceWhere never lark, or even eagle flew—And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trodThe high untresspassed sanctity of space,Put out my hand and touched the face of God.


Allegro Con Brio of the Allegro Community Children's Choir in Kansas City, Christy Elsner, conductor [© all rights reserved]
