He knows no doubt. Serene he labours thus, — Happy to live, yet not of death afraid. Which dost thou envy of these aged twain ? Lays of Middle Age. 75 l. —The Eclipse. B, ' RIEF shadow of night's wing at noon of day- Mantling with sickly hue the vales and hills, Hushing the birds, saddening the low-voiced lis, And tempting some few stars of anxious ray To deem their hour of vigil is at hand ! In dingy chambers falls a fearful gloom ; The labourer pauses on his twilight land, V. 'ith puzzled fan...cies of a day of doom ; And crowds are staring in the open way. What mask is that upon day's orbed flame? Is it indeed the moon that trails her night Athwart day's face, as with a human spite To obscure where rivalry she may not claim? Ah ! foolish to forsake her gentler throne Where monthly she enjoy'd renewed youth : But lo ! the shadow from the sun hath gone ! So passes error from a luminous truth — So passes slander from a peerless name. 76 Lays of Middle Age. Great eye of day ! this gloom our vision clears, More than the mounting splendours of the dawn ; We see thee most when thou art most withdrawn, Like God made visible through eclipse of tears !
