Read the lines from "The Moon."
What does "she" refer to in the second line?
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
O the clock
O the garden
O the face
O the moon
So, "she shines on thieves on the garden wall" is referring partly to what she does. The moon, when it shines brightly, helps the police to catch criminals who are lurching around and climbing the garden wall.
