'Moon is a Painter' Summary
The poem begins with the moon rising in the sky, and the speaker describing how it paints the night with its light. The moon's brushstrokes are described as being delicate and precise, and the speaker marvels at the beauty of the moon's work. The poem then goes on to describe how the moon paints different scenes on the night sky, including a forest, a meadow, and a river. The speaker describes how the moon's light transforms these scenes into works of art that are both beautiful and awe-inspiring. The poem ends with the speaker reflecting on the power of the moon's art, and how it inspires him to see the beauty of the world around him.Book Details
