Robert Graves - The Cruel MoonRobert Graves - The Cruel Moon
Work rating: Medium


The cruel Moon hangs out of reach   Up above the shadowy beech.   Her face is stupid, but her eye   Is small and sharp and very sly.   Nurse says the Moon can drive you mad? No, that’s a silly story, lad!   Though she be angry, though she would   Destroy all England if she could,   Yet think, what damage can she do   Hanging there so far from you? Don’t heed what frightened nurses say:   Moons hang much too far away.
