Impact of the Lines on the Meaning in the Poem
The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.

And what a privilege to be
But the remotest star!
For certainly her way might pass
Beside your twinkling door.

Her bonnet is the firmament,
The universe her shoe,
The stars the trinkets at her belt,
Her dimities of blue.

The moon has changed from crescent to full

The moon looks different depending on the season

Items in the sky are like clothes that the moon puts on

Before the moon appears at the night the sky seems empty

Objects in the sky should feel honored to be near the moon
