Question 1 Read the following short poem and answer the
questions that follow. THE MOON By Robert Louis Stevenson
The moon has a face like the clock in the hall; She shines on
thieves on the garden wall, On streets and field and harbour
quays*, And birdies asleep in the forks of the trees. The
squalling cat and the squeaking mouse, The howling dog by the
door of the house, The bat that lies in bed at noon, All love to
be out by the light of the moon. But all of the things that belong
to the day Cuddle to sleep to be out of her way; And flowers
and children close their eyes Till up in the morning the sun shall
arise. (Stevenson, R.L. 2008. ‘The Moon’, in A Child’s Garden of
