Oh, I have slipped the 1)surly 2)bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the 3)tumbling 4)mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; 5)wheeled and 6)soared and swung
High in the sun-lit silence. 7)Hovering there
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through 8)footless halls of air;
Up, up the long, 9)delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
Where never 10)lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I’ve 11)trod
The high 12)untrespassed 13)sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
高高翱翔
哦，我逃出阴沉的土地镣铐
乘着双翼与银铃笑声在天空起舞；
迎着太阳我高攀回旋在
洒落阳光的欢乐云层间——我做了无数
你不曾梦想过的事情；盘旋、高转
在透亮的寂静里。在那里翱翔
我追逐呼啸的风，
热望恣意穿越空中厅堂;
高飞，高飞在无边的、欣喜若狂的、燃烧的蓝天上
我如此从容如此优雅地踏上风所能到达的巅峰，
云雀不曾到过此处，鹰不曾在这里飞翔；
而静静的升腾的感情领我步入
天地高不可及的圣洁里
伸出手，我触碰到了神之面孔。
