This is a marvel of the universe:
To fling a thought across a stretch of sky--
Some weighty message, or a yearning cry,
It matters not; the elements rehearse
Man's urgent utterance, and his words traverse
The spacious heav'ns like homing birds that fly
Unswervingly, until, upreached on high,
A quickened hand plucks off the message terse.

The little Road says, Go; The little House says, Stay; And oh, it's bonny here at home, But I must go away.
