THE ECLIPSE, by                    
First Line: From gauzy mists of far, translucent white
Last Line: Passed slowly into a complete eclipse.
Subject(s): Astronomy & Astronomers; Eclipses


From gauzy mists of far, translucent white
Diana smiled upon her lord the Earth,
And all the trysting, star-embowered night
Beheld the sight with flashing eyes of mirth.
But Earth, as wooed to leave his ancient place,
With his dark presence kissed Diana's lips;
And then—oh, then!—her ardent, blushing face
Passed slowly into a complete eclipse.
