High Flight Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGFG| Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth | A |
| And danced the skies on laughter silvered wings | B |
| Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth | A |
| of sun split clouds and done a hundred things | B |
| You have not dreamed of wheeled and soared and swung | C |
| High in the sunlit silence Hov'ring there | D |
| I've chased the shouting wind along and flung | C |
| My eager craft through footless halls of air | D |
| - | |
| Up up the long delirious burning blue | E |
| I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace | F |
| Where never lark nor ever eagle flew | E |
| And while with silent lifting mind I've trod | G |
| The high untrespassed sanctity of space | F |
| Put out my hand and touched the face of God | G |
