"The Moon was but a Chin of Gold" by Emily Dickinson is a beautifully strange, imaginative poem that reimagines the moon as a woman with an amber smile, a firmament for a bonnet, and stars as trinkets at her belt. This Emily Dickinson poem print sets the full text against a deep navy sky with a photographic moon rising above it, making it a striking find for anyone searching for a celestial literary quote print.
Dickinson's gift for turning something as familiar as the moon into a mysterious, almost mythical figure is on full display here, and the poem rewards a slow read as each stanza builds a new, vivid detail. The rich navy background and realistic moon photograph give the print a moody, nighttime feel, well suited to fans of Emily Dickinson wall art who want something a little more dramatic than a pale, floral design.
This print makes a thoughtful gift for a poetry lover with a fascination for the night sky, a meaningful graduation gift for a student of literature or astronomy, or a lovely birthday gift for someone who has always loved the moon. Dickinson fans will appreciate discovering one of her lesser-known poems presented so strikingly.

The Moon was but a Chin of Gold
A Night or two ago –
And now she turns Her perfect Face
Upon the World below –
Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde –
Her Cheek – a Beryl hewn –
Her Eye unto the Summer Dew
The likest I have known –
Her Lips of Amber never part –
But what must be the smile
Upon Her Friend she could confer
Were such Her Silver Will –
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest Star –
For Certainty She take Her Way
Beside Your Palace Door –
Her Bonnet is the Firmament –
The Universe – Her Shoe –
The Stars – the Trinkets at Her Belt –
Her Dimities – of Blue.
