The Eclipse
Whither, O whither didst thou fly?

When did I grieve Thine holy eye,

When Thou didst mourn to see me lost,

And all Thy care and counsels crost?

O do not grieve, where'er Thou art!

Thy grief is an undoing smart,

Which doth not only pain, but break

My heart, and makes me blush to speak.

Thy anger I could kiss, and will;

But -- O -- Thy grief, Thy grief, doth kill!
