First Line: Fear not; the planet that bedims
Last Line: To mark its flight.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Eclipses
Fear not; the planet that bedims
The moon's distorted face,
Itself through cloudless ether swims
The Sea of Space;
And earthward many a distant wing
Of spirits in the light
A salutary shade may fling
To mark its flight.
