Here you will find the Poem On The Wedding Of The Aeronaut of poet Ambrose Bierce

On The Wedding Of The Aeronaut

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!
