O carry me above this plaintive earth
Where’er there be a sweeter dwelling place
To touch the distant harbour of my birth
As fixed beyond all mortal reach of space
Across the boundless oceans of all time
Above creation”s full encircling spheres
Far upwards shall I ever seek to climb
Transported thus away from worldly fears
Yet still I tarry ‘neath the sapphire skies
In earthly shackles theretofore entwined
With yearning for such freedom in these eyes
As in the world this soul be yet confined
….. Above, beyond, my heart does so desire
….. To fly, to fly in splendour, ever higher
