Sun and moon
A. Bliss
I saw a strange creature,
A bright ship of the air beautifully adorned,
Bearing away plunder beneath her horns,
Fetching it home from foray.
She was minded to build a bower in her stronghold,
And construct it with cunning if she could do so.
But then a mighty creature appeared over the mountain
Whose face is familiar to all dwellers on earth;
He seized on his treasure and sent home the wanderer
Much against her will; she went westward
Harbouring hostility, hastening forth.
Dust lifted to heaven, dew fell on the earth,
Night fled hence; and no man knew
Thereafter where the strange creature had gone.
And the answer: Sun and Moon.
