THE KIND MOON by SARA TEASDALE

Poet Analysis

First Line: I THINK THE MOON IS VERY KIND
Last Line: THO' MOTHER SAID I MIGHT.
Subject(s): MOON;

I think the moon is very kind
To take such trouble just for me.
He came along with me from home
To keep me company.

He went as fast as I could run;
I wonder how he crossed the sky?
I'm sure he hasn't legs and feet
Or any wings to fly.

Yet here he is above their roof;
Perhaps he thinks it isn't right
For me to go so far alone,
Tho' mother said I might.
