J Sunset The glowing red sun descends Into the wide, tremulous Silver-gray ocean. Ethereal, rosy tinted forms Are wreathed behind him, and opposite, Through the veil of autumnal, twilight clouds, Like a sad, deathly-pale countenance. Breaks the moon, And after her, like sparks of light, 224
In the misty distance, shimmer the stars. Once there shone forth in heaven, Nupdally united, Luna the goddess, and Sol the god. And around them gathered the stars. Those innocent little children. But evil tongues whispered dissension. And in bitterness parted The lofty, illustrious pair. Now all day in lonely splendor The sun-god fares overhead, Worshiped and magnified in song, For the excellence of his glory, By haughty prosperity—hardened men. But at night In heaven wandereth Luna, The poor mother. With her orphaned, starry children; And she shines with a quiet sadness. And loving maidens and gentle poets Dedicate to her their tears and their songs. Poor weak Luna! Womanly-natured, Still doth she love her beautiful consort. Towards evening pale and trembling. She peers forth from light clouds, And sadly gazes after the departing one. 225

Through the veil of autumnal, twilight clouds,<br />
Like a sad, deathly-pale countenance.<br />
Breaks the moon,<br />
And after her, like sparks of light,<br />
