Question 1
Read the following short poem and answer the questions that follow. THE
MOON By Robert Louis Stevenson The moon has a face like the clock in
the hall; She shines on thieves on the garden wall, On streets and field and
harbour quays*, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. The squalling
cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the door of the house,
The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to be out by the light of the moon.
But all of the things that belong to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of her
way; And flowers and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the
sun shall arise. (Stevenson, R.L. 2008. ‘The Moon’, in A Child’s Garden of
Verses. Project Gutenberg Edition. Available: Glossary: quays
(pronunciation: kees): plural of ‘quay’, a stone or metal platform lying
alongside or projecting into water for loading and unloading ships (Oxford
Languages).
