Reading

A. Read the following poem and answer the questions.
Slowly, silently, now the moon,

Walks the night in her silver shoon;
This way, and that, she peers and sees,

Silver fruit upon silver trees.
One by one the casements catch,
Her beams beneath the silvery thatch;

Couched in his kennel, like a long,
With paws of silver sleeps the dog.
From their shadowy cote the white breasts peep,

Of doves in a silver-feathered sleep;
A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
With silver claws and a silver eye;

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