Can someone please explain "Amends" by Adrienne Rich?"Amends" By Adrienne Rich Nights like this: on the cold apple-bougha white star, then...

This excellent poem concerns the link between moonlight
and humans. We are persented with moonlight personified in various ways, some of them
quite sensuous, as it lights up various aspects of the landscape and finally "dwells
upon the eyelids of sleepers." Note how moonlight is personfied as it "licks the broken
ledge" and "laying its cheek for moments on the sand." The moonlight is presented as
unyielding and able to penetrate and reach everywhere. Note how the poem describes it as
"unavailing" and it has the ability to "soak" through cracks. Moonlight is personified
as a graceful and empathising female figure that seems to bring healing or relaxation to
humans for the sufferings and harships they experience during day time. Moonlight wants
to "make amends," and as we follow its journeying over the landscape to its ultimate
destination of the humans that it finds, we are struck with the idea of the moon being
personified as some form of benevolent goddess who wants to make up at night for the
harships of the day.
