Slowly, silently, now the moon walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers, and sees Silver fruit upon silver trees;
One by one the casements catch Her beams beneath the sllvery thatch;
Couched in his Kennel, like a log, with paws of silver sleeps the dog;
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep of doves in silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by, with silver claws and a silver eye;
And moveless Fish in the water gleam, by silver reeds in a silver stream:

Answer:
In this poetry, the moon and how lovely everything appears in its light are discussed. Everything in the moonlight is silver, even the paws of dogs, as well as fruits and trees. The moonlight makes everything appear stunning and silver. There are 14 lines in the poem. Each pair of lines rhymes.
Explanation:
Finding a particularly potent picture is one of the joys of poetry. Finding strong imagery to arouse the senses and imagination of their audience was a priority for many poets in the early 20th century. The beautiful use of imagery in the poem "Silver" makes it stand out.
The moon is shown as a woman, personified (note the use of the word she). The moon appears to be a slow-moving searchlight as it slowly peers into every crevice. Nothing escapes her beam, including the birds in the dovecote, the dog in the kennel, the fruit on the trees, and the houses' casement lights.
The "harvest mouse" alludes to the time of year and the indicated setting of a rural area with fruit trees, a dovecote, and a creek teeming with fish. The atmosphere is calm and subdued; the fish are "motionless" and the dog and doves are sleeping.
a) On silver trees, the moon observes silver fruits.
b) Since a log doesn't move, the dog is compared to one. It denotes the dog's complete unconsciousness and lack of awareness of its surroundings.
c) The silver-clawed harvest mouse, which also has a silver eye, scampers by.
d) Everything looks silver because of the moon's silvery glow.
