SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 114 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: IS THE MOON TIRED? SHE LOOKS SO PALE
Last Line: SHE FADES AWAY.
Subject(s): MOON;
Is the moon tired? she looks so pale
Within her misty veil:
She scales the sky from east to west,
And takes no rest.

Before the coming of the night
The moon shows papery white;
Before the dawning of the day
She fades away.
