A Song Of Flight.

Topics: classic

While we slumber and sleep, The sun leaps up from the deep, - Daylight born at the leap, - Rapid, dominant, free, Athirst to bathe in the uttermost sea. While we linger at play - If the year would stand at May! - Winds are up and away, Over land, over sea, To their goal, wherever their goal may be. It is time to arise, To race for the promised prize; The sun flies, the wind flies, We are strong, we are free, And home lies beyond the stars and the sea.
