You are watching: The moon was but a chin of gold
Not when did anyone ever before guess "a chin that gold" -- especially as part of a "perfect face" which at some point turns top top the people below.The lesson was really simple, and it really gained the students to begin thinking of new ways to watch the world.
A few years ago, I created a song based upon this poem, and also the music is below. I hope you like it.
The poem:By Emily Dickinson:The Moon was however a Chin of GoldA Night or two back –And now she transforms Her perfect FaceUpon the World listed below –Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde –Her Cheek – a Beryl hewn –Her Eye unto the Summer DewThe likest I have actually known –Her Lips that Amber never part –But what need to be the smileUpon Her girlfriend she can conferWere such her Silver will certainly –And what a privilege to beBut the remotest Star –For Certainty She take she WayBeside Your palace Door –Her Bonnet is the Firmament –The world – her Shoe –The Stars – the Trinkets at her Belt –Her Dimities – the Blue –
