Full Moon and Little Frieda A cool small evening shrunk to a dog bark and the clank of a bucket - And you listening. A spider's web, tense for the dew's touch. A pail lifted, still and brimming - mirror To tempt a first star to a tremor. Cows are going home in the lane there, looping the hedges with their warm wreaths of breath – A dark river of blood, many boulders, Balancing unspilled milk. 'Moon!' you cry suddenly, 'Moon! Moon!' The moon has stepped back like an artist gazing amazed at a work That points at him amazed.

The Title Full and Little-Contrasting images Relating the two objects together Moon-Symbol

First Stanza The evening can be said to be seen through Frieda’s eyes-links to the ‘and you listening’ Tone of tranquillity and calmness present-suggested by the words ‘cool small’ ‘dog bark’ and ‘clank’ ‘Shrunk

Second Stanza Repetition carries on with description of scene ‘You’ can refer to both reader and Frieda Sense of anticipation is created in the next 3 lines ‘tense’ ‘brimming’ ‘tempt’

Third Stanza Slight change in the poem (follows on from anticipation stanza 2) ‘Looping’ links to the wreaths ‘Warm Wreaths’ alliteration Cannot escape his past Darker tone is present- ‘river of blood’ Cows represent bloodshed ‘Unspilled’
