I have slipped the surly bOnds of Earth And danced the skies On laughter-silvered Wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, — and dOne a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind alOng, and flung My eager craft 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 hand, and touched the face of God. www.latvianvoices.lv Onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='nOne';">less

Gloria! 3 Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head; "To me be as it pleases God," she said. "My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name." Most highly favoured lady, Gloria! 4 Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ, was born In Bethlehem, all On a Christmas morn, and Christian folk throughout the world will ever say, "Most highly favoured lady, Gloria!"
