Question

what does the poet mean by '... the white lotus changes/ Into a cup of silver'?​

Answer 1

When the moon shines between the bamboo trees onto the pool where the lotes is present then due to the reflection of the moon the lotus looks like silver color and lotus is like the shape of a cup. So, it is called a cup of silver. tramwayniceix and 10 more users found this answer helpful.
