ECLIPSE by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: FEAR NOT; THE PLANET THAT BEDIMS
Last Line: TO MARK ITS FLIGHT.
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.
