Eclipse

The hours of the day have departed

They folded their wings to rest

When the last red ray of sunlight

Faded away in the west

And fleecy clouds cover the stars

And beyond is a world of blue.

Away to a world of azure

Where white-winged spirits meet

While the clouds float and fade below them

And the stars shine at their feet.

They hold out their hands in welcome

And now, for a moment of time

Limitless worlds and boundless space

And planets –

They all are mine.
