Summary of poem - Silver

'Silver' (1913) by Walter de la Mare

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 silvery 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 a silver-feathered sleep;

A harvest mouse goes scampering by,

With silver claws, and silver eye;

A moveless fish in the water gleams

By silver reeds in a silver stream.

Imagery in the Poem 'Silver'

One of the delights of poetry is finding a particularly powerful image. Many early 20th-century poets prioritised this aspect of their creative writing by finding powerful images to stimulate the senses and imagination of their readers. The poem 'Silver' is notable for the exquisite visual imagery within the lines.

The moon is personified and characterised as female (note the use of the word she). The moon is slowly peering into every nook and cranny almost like a slow-moving searchlight. Nothing escapes her beam—the fruit on the trees, the casement lights of the buildings, the dog in the kennel and the doves in the dovecote.

The poem is subtly located in time and place - the 'harvest mouse' suggests the season and the implied location is rural - there are fruit trees, a dovecote, and a stream with fish. The ambience of the location is quiet and hushed - the dog and doves are sleeping, and the fish are 'moveless'.
