On an Eclipse of the Moon

Walter Savage Landor

 Next Poem          

Struggling, and faint, and fainter didst thou wane,
O Moon! and round thee all thy starry train
Came forth to help thee, with half-open eyes,
And trembled every one with still surprise,
That the black Spectre should have dared assail
Their beauteous queen and seize her sacred veil.

      Honestly, this piece didn't quite hit the mark for me. A bit dull somehow.
