Read the lines from "The Moon."

Question

The moon has a face like the clock in the hall;
She shines on thieves on the garden wall,
On streets and fields and harbour quays,
And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees.

What does "she" refer to in the second line?

the clock
the garden
the face
the moon

Answer 1

In the second line, "she" refers to "the moon." The use of "she" personifies the moon and continues the imagery established in the first line.
