Question

Silver

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;
And moveless fish in the water gleam,
By silver reeds in a silver stream.

stanza wise sumaary of this poem

Answer 1

hlw....ur answer is...
At night the moon has the ability to colour the common place with its own distinct fingers. It changes everything seen in daytime. Green trees suddenly become silver trees.

Perhaps the poem is about how we perceive things and how, in different situations, we and others might perceive the same scene completely differently. And if we were to become ‘the moon’ how do we colour life with our own personality? Silver is a precious metal – do we colour in a precious way? I could also say that hopefully we bring light into dark places. And if we think of silver as money then it can bring value

Answer 2

Slowly, silently, now the moon / walks the night in her silver shoon;

>>>This means that the moon silently shines a bright silvery light in the dark night.

This way, and that, she peers, and sees / Silver fruit upon silver trees;

>>> The moon quietly observes what is happening down below in earth. The moon's light falls on trees and their fruits causing them to look silver. The moon is also being personified in these lines.

One by one the casements each / her beams beneath the silvery thatch

>>>The moon's light shines through the windows and onto the roofs of village houses.
