Versuri Eugene Lee-Hamilton & Benjamin Franklin – Rozier the Aeronaut to Benjamin Franklin lyrics

The storms were weaving. In the cloudy loom
The dazzling shuttle of the lightning ran
Incessant to and fro, and quaking man
Dared breathe but in the intervals of gloom;

And thou, all fearless of the Titan’s doom,
Didst snatch that lightning as its race began,
And tame the thunderbolt, and make the wan
Gray clouds of tempest hush their crash and boom.

But I’ll do more; and, through those clouds thick curled
I’ll soar the heavens in a car of flame,
And make a very footstool of the world.

Undaunted, though my fate should be the same
As Phaeton’s, from Heaven’s apex hurled
Into the sea, by steeds I cannot tame.
