MOON IN ECLIPSE, by                    
First Line: Whenas the swarming flood of night
Last Line: Its blackness o'er.


Whenas the swarming flood of night
Was ebbing from the sky
The moon, eclipsing, lost the light
Of half its eye.

The moon a blacksmith's mirror seemed
That, furnaced more and more,
Glowed, till the fiery crimson streamed
Its blackness o'er.
