A Book for Kids by C.J. Dennis

They say the eagle is a bird That sees some splendid sights When he soars high into the sky Upon his dizzy flights: He sees the ground for miles around Our house, and Billy Johnson's; But we cannot be eagles, for That would, of course, be nonsense.

But you and I, some summer day, Providing we're allowed, Will go up in an aeroplane And sail right through a cloud.
