The moon has a face like a clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.

The Moon
Today at the library Ivy pulled this book off the shelf and said, "I love this book! The moon has a face like a clock on the wall!" We have not taken out Robert Louis Stevenson's The Moon since the summer. I am not sure how she remembered it. The illustrations accompanying the poem are lovely - by Tracey Campbell Pearson. The poem originally appeared in A Child's Garden of Verses, 1885. Stevenson is Ivy's first famous poet!
The moon has a face like a clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
The moon has a face like a clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.
