The arching sky is calling Spacemen 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 the race of Earthmen, Out, far, and onward yet --
We've tried each spinning space mote And reckoned its true worth: Take us back again to the homes of men On the cool, green hills of Earth.
