"Oh! I am bound upon a wheel of fire,
"Which my own tears do scald like melted lead."
TO THE INVISIBLE MOON.
I know not whether this is correctly expressed—I suspect that it is not.—What I mean, however, will surely be understood—I address the Moon when not visible at night in our hemisphere.
"The sun to me is dark,
"And silent as the Moon
"When she deserts the night,
"Hid in her secret interlunar cave."
Milton, Samps. Agon.
First printed in a publication for the use of young persons, called "Rambles Farther."
