just 2 add to the mix..could also b april showers …a solar eclipse..or even a divorce
Back to the first riddle …why I think Belledonna may be the answer…
The first I sought in starry skies = night
The second passed before my eyes = shade (as in “a shade (ghost) pasted before his eyes”)
Night+shade = nightshade a medicinal herb
Tis hard to lose one’s sight - blind as bat or mole = Belledonna dialates the eyes and makes clear vision impossible… and of course a drug can’t see
delighted in hills and fields (where nightshade grows)
I am no more my whole = belledonna is an extraction of nightshade
