On the Eclipse of the Moon of October 1865 - ZaunköniG - 22.05.2007 On the Eclipse of the Moon of October 1865 One little noise of life remained--I heard The train pause in the distance, then rush by, Brawling and hushing, like some busy fly That murmurs and then settles; nothing stirred Beside. The shadow of our traveling earth Hung on the silver moon, which mutely went Through that grand process, without token sent, Or any sign to call a gazer forth, Had I not chanced to see; dumb was the vault Of heaven, and dumb the fields--no zephyr swept The forest walks, or through the coppice crept; Nor other sound the stillness did assault, Save that faint-brawling railway's move and halt; So perfect was the silence Nature kept. |
