An Eclipse

by Dora Sigerson Shorter

In anticipation of the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, we offer this poem from The Fairy Changeling and Other Poems (1897).

Sancho Panza, Eclipse Anular, 2005

　　Let there be an end And all be done; Pass over, fair eclipse, That hides the sun. Dear face that shades the light And shadows me, Begone, and give me peace, And set me free.
