On the Wedding of an Aeronaut

by Ambrose Bierce

From Standard Ebooks · standardebooks/ambrose-bierce_poetry

Aeronaut, you’re fairly caught, Despite your bubble’s leaven: Out of the skies a lady’s eyes Have brought you down to Heaven!
No more, no more you’ll freely soar Above the grass and gravel: Henceforth you’ll walk⁠—and she will chalk The line that you’re to travel!
