Poem A Day

Classic poem

On An Eclipse Of The Moon

by Walter Savage Landor

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
