The arching sky is callingSpacemen back to their trade.All hands! Stand by! Free falling!And the lights below us fade.
Out ride the sons of Terra,Far drives the thundering jet,Up leaps a race of Earthmen,Out, far, and onward yet —
We've tried each spinning space moteAnd reckoned its true worth:Take us back again to the homes of menOn the cool, green hills of Earth.
