Moonrise by HD

Will you glimmer on the sea?
Will you fling your spear-head
On the shore?
What note shall we pitch?

We have a song,
On the bank we share our arrows—
The loosed string tells our note:

O flight,
Bring her swiftly to our song.
She is great,
We measure her by the pine-trees.

Hilda Doolittle (aka HD) was a leader in the Imagist Movement in the early 1900s. This movement is specifically characterized with "free verse and [devotion] to 'clarity of expression through the use of precise visual images'". Her poem "Moonrise" definitely fits this time period using verbs like "glimmer"  and "fling" personifies the moon as a being who has choices and thoughts. HD gives the moon a personality of a girl implying soft and comforting association unlike a male character that is generally associated with masculine and dominating strength/power. Also, HD describes our daily lives as a "song" and having the moon come into the night sky "Bring her swiftly to our song" exactly describes the people who would go camping and lay out and watch the moon rise. it creates the vivid image that fits in with the surging Imagist Movement of the time.

This is just some bio information on Hilda Doolittle:

"On September 10, 1886, Hilda Doolittle was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. She attended Bryn Mawr, as a classmate of Marianne Moore, and later the University of Pennsylvania where she befriended Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams.
She travelled to Europe in 1911, intending to spend only a summer, but remained abroad for the rest of her life.
Through Pound, H. D. grew interested in and quickly became a leader of the Imagist movement. Some of her earliest poems gained recognition when they were published by Harriet Monroe in Poetry.
Her work is characterized by the intense strength of her images, economy of language, and use of classical mythology. Her poems did not receive widespread appreciation and acclaim during her lifetime, in part because her name was associated with the Imagist movement even as her voice had outgrown the movement's boundaries, as evidenced by her book-length works, Trilogy and Helen in Egypt.
As Alicia Ostriker said in American Poetry Review, "H.D. by the end of her career became not only the most gifted woman poet of our century, but one of the most original poets—the more I read her the more I think this—in our language."
Neglect of H. D. can also be attributed to her times, as many of her poems spoke to an audience which was unready to respond to the strong feminist principles articulated in her work. She died in 1961." -http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/234
