A Song Of Flight

Title:     A Song Of Flight
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

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.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Song Of Flight
