FROM CHINA by AMY LOWELL

Poet Analysis

First Line: I THOUGHT: / THE MOON
Last Line: At my feet
Subject(s): CHINA;
I THOUGHT:
The moon,
Shining upon the many steps of the palace before me,
Shines also upon the chequered rice-fields
Of my native land.
And my tears fell
Like white rice grains
At my feet.
