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).
