In my life
I have seen it twice
By the grace of God
I’ll see it thrice

When skies turn black
As day becomes night
When moon passes over
On celestial flight

And sun turns dark
This mysterious thing
Which hushes the trees
When birds do not sing

Silence falls, as shadows reign 
And things no longer, look the same

Then sun resumes
Its majestic light
And moon slinks on
Away from sight

Eclipse my eyes
My lunar friend
I am with you
Til the end
