The Moon To The Sun

by Alice Meynell

"What would the Moon say to the Sun if she could speak?" In this beautiful and thought-provoking poem, Alice Meynell imagines a conversation between the Moon and the Sun. The Moon asks the Sun why he is so bright, and the Sun replies that he is bright because he is full of love. The Moon then asks the Sun why he loves her, and the Sun replies that he loves her because she is so beautiful. The poem ends with the Moon and the Sun agreeing that they are both beautiful, and that they both love each other very much. Meynell's poem is a meditation on the nature of love and beauty. It is a reminder that love is not just about physical attraction, but also about the spiritual connection between two people. The poem is also a celebration of the beauty of the natural world, and the way that the Moon and the Sun reflect each other's light. "The Moon To The Sun" is a short but powerful poem that is sure to stay with you long after you have finished reading it. It is a poem that will make you think about love, beauty, and the natural world in a new way.
