To soar above the rabble on eagle's wing,
and embrace the cool silence beyond the din.
To sense the crystal tones that ring within,
and follow the luring lay the sirens sing.
To rise aloft with the new sun's first ray,
and pursue the blue midst night and day.
To glide in softness as the clouds float by,
and rest on a peak with the gods on high.
