Anyone any good at poetry? the poem silver?

I need help analyzing the poem silver 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 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.





Please help %26lt;3

Anyone any good at poetry? the poem silver?
It basically is talking about night time and how the moon "sees" everything. It refers to silver because the moon is silver.





This poem means what it says (meaning that there isn't any hidden meanings or messages).





If you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to message me. Hope this helps!

Reply:what about it?


In the beginning the author gave personification to the moon saying the moon was a 'her' and that she walks and etc. It's just about how the moonlight makes things look silver that we know aren't usually silver in the day light. its just the moon's light. In the poem I guess everywhere the moon 'sees' theres silver like saying its light is a sign that 'she' sees you. and like i said the 'she' is personificationally the moon. personificationally . i think i just made up that word but whatever.
