It sounded as if the Air were running 1
And then the Air stood still.
Eclipse was all we could see at the Window
And Awe－was all we could feel－
By and by the boldest stole out of his Covert 5
To see if Time were there－
Nature was in her Beryl Apron
Mixing fresher Air－
And then the Air stood still.
Eclipse was all we could see at the Window
And Awe－was all we could feel－
By and by the boldest stole out of his Covert 5
To see if Time were there－
Nature was in her Beryl Apron
Mixing fresher Air－
