- A Solar Eclipse
- By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
- In that great journey of the stars through space
- About the mighty, all-directing Sun,
- The pallid, faithful Moon, has been the one
- Companion of the Earth. Her tender face,
- Pale with the swift, keen purpose of that race,
- Which at Time’s natal hour was first begun,
- Shines ever on her lover as they run
- And lights his orbit with her silvery smile.
- Sometimes such passionate love doth in her rise,
- Down from her beaten path she softly slips,
- And with her mantle veils the Sun’s bold eyes,
- Then in the gloaming finds her lover’s lips.
- While far and near the men our world call wise
- See only that the Sun is in eclipse.
