Both solid earth and great reaching sky
With mighty shackles did seem to bind
Our quest to see what beyond did lie
And what great wonders we could find.
Yet there came a day in decades past
When we sought to break our chain
Two titans woke at long last
To reach the skies above the rain.
One sent out a wayfarer of steel
Small yet great in equal measure
And in the heavens it did feel
Untold wonder and silent pleasure.
Soon followed a mortal man
A simple fellow of blood and flesh
He went above and said "We can!"
And the world once more seemed fresh.
All eyes then settled on one great sphere
Silent and lovely did it always hover
