O THE joy to ride on the sharpened steel,
With the sun on the ice, and the wind at my heel;
The railroad train beside me may smoke and jar,
But it cannot go as I go—so far, so far!
O, the joy to glide as the wind rides free,
Where the un-steeled never go on land or sea,
The flying car above me may touch the sky,
But it cannot go as I go—so high, so high!
