Eclipse
Lo moon, over yonder eastern sky!
I b'lieve you're goin' into eclipse today!
Hold fast then, and keep your chin up mate!
Be sure to emerge from earth's shadowy date.
You've weathered clouds and comets galore,
And you'll surely be unvanquished once more.
Our hopes and destiny lie in the balance
Eternally must you shine in night's darkness.
Astrophotograph: Lunar eclipse of 16 September 1997, by Bengt Ask.
