SILVER – WALTER DE LA MARE

Slowly, silently, now the moonWalks the night in her silver shoon;

This way, and that, she peers, and seesSilver fruit upon silver trees;

One by one the casements catchHer beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a log,With paws of silver sleeps the dog;

From their shadowy cote the white breasts peepOf doves in silver feathered sleep

A harvest mouse goes scampering by,With silver claws, and silver eye;

And moveless fish in the water gleam,By silver reeds in a silver stream.

PERSPECTIVEThe poem begins with the reader seeing things from the Traveller’s point of view and, at the end, leaves the reader with the listeners’ point of view:

‘... the silence surged softly backward,When the plunging hoofs were gone’.

IT’S A MYSTERY…

The poem does not explain everything

about the mysterious situation. Readers have to use their imagination

to fill in the gaps.

THE LISTENERS‘Is there anybody there?’ said the

Traveller, Knocking on the moonlit door; And his horse in the silence champed the grasses Of the forest’s ferny floor: And a bird flew up out of the turret, Above the Traveller’s head:

THE LISTENERSAnd he smote upon the door again

a second time; ‘Is there anybody there?’ he said. But no one descended to the Traveller; No head from the leaf-fringed sill Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes, Where he stood perplexed and still.

Page 21: Read and interpret a wide range of poems. Think of as many silver things as you can in thirty seconds.

THE LISTENERSAnd he felt in his heart their strangeness,

Their stillness answering his cry, While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf, ’Neath the starred and leafy sky; For he suddenly smote on the door, even Louder, and lifted his head:— ‘Tell them I came, and no one answered, That I kept my word,’ he said.

THE LISTENERSNever the least stir made the listeners,

Though every word he spake Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house From the one man left awake: Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup, And the sound of iron on stone, And how the silence surged softly backward, When the plunging hoofs were gone.
