Where can i find a poem that has is but toy swings on bright gold as the first line?

The line "is but toy swings on bright gold" is not the beginning of a poem. That is the title of a poem by American poet Sylvia Plath. The first line of the poem is "The moon has nothing to be ashamed of."

Here is the entire poem:

Is But Toy Swings on Bright Gold

The moon has nothing to be ashamed of.

She does not brag or boast,

and she never shows her face

unless she is sure she will be welcomed.

She stays out of the way

of the sun and the stars,

and gives a soft light

to those who need it.

The moon is a toy swing

on bright gold,

and she sways gently

in the night breeze.

She is a small child,

and she is afraid of the dark,

but she knows that she is safe

in the arms of the night.

The moon is a symbol of hope,

and she reminds us that

even in the darkest of times,

there is always light.
