    The Moon by Robert Louis Stevenson

    The poem describes how the moon illuminates both nocturnal and diurnal creatures. It shines down on thieves over garden walls, streets, fields, and harbors. While birds sleep in tree forks and cats, mice, dogs, and bats are awake and active under the moonlight, flowers and children close their eyes and sleep so as not to be out during the night when the moon rules until the sun rises again in the morning.

    The Moon by Rober t Louis Stevenson

    The moon has a face like the clock in


    the hall,

    She shines on thieves on the garden


    wall,

    On streets and fields and harbor quays,

    And birdies asleep in the forks of the


    trees.

    The squalling cat and the squeaki ng


    mouse,

    The howling dog by the door of the


    house,

    The bat that lies in bed at noon,


    All love to be out by the light of the
    moon.

    But all of the things that belong to the


    day

    Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way;

    And flowers and children close their


    eyes

    Till up in the morning the sun shall


    arise.
