O, thou sun, advancing high,

Beaming red, and blazing forth!

O, thou moon, now moving onward,

Sending here thy lesser beams!

The host of heaven—

The gods now there—

Can see and gaze on you.

Come forth thou hidden

Cause of blindness in mine eyes,

Thou blood-red blight

Of waters sweeping o’er my sight.

Come forth, that I

May live, and see again,

And gaze as I was wont.
