From Possibility's Dim Chaos Sprung - ZaunköniG - 27.08.2014
From Possibility's dim chaos sprung,
High o'er its gloom the Aerostatic Power
Arose!--Exulting Nations hail'd the hour,
Magnific boast of Science!--Loud they sung
Her victory o'er the element, that hung,
Pressing to earth the Beings, who now soar
Aerial heights;--but Wisdom bids explore
This vaunted skill;--if, tides of air among,
We know to steer our bark.--Here Science finds
Her buoyant hopes burst, like the bubble vain,
Type of this art;--guilty, if still she blinds
The sense of Fear; persists thy flame to fan,
Sky-vaulting Pride, that to the aweless winds
Throws, for an idle Show, the LIFE OF MAN!
