Text of the Poem | Full Moon and Little Frieda By Ted Hughes | Eureka Study Aids

1. A cool small eveing shrunk to a dog bark and the clank of a bucket - 

2. And you listening. 

3. A spider's web, tense for the dew's touch. 

4. A pail lifted, still and brimming - mirror

5. To tempt a first star to a tremor. 

6. Cows are going home in the lane there, looping the hedges with their warm

7. wreths of breath - 

8. A dark river of blood, many boulders, 

9. Balancing unspilled milk. 

10. 'Moon!' you cry suddenly, 'Moon! Moon!

11. The moon has stepped back like an artist gazing amazed at a work

12. The points at him amazed.
