The Man in the Moonby J. R. R. Tolkien, circa 1915In March of 1915 Tolkien wrote a poem about The Man in the Moon, who “had a silver shoon / And his beard was of silver thread”, and drew an illustration.  The picture shows the Man in the Moon, with a long beard and tall hat, sliding towards earth on a thread.The man on the moon “was tired of this pearls and diamond twirls, of his pallid minaret, Dizzy and white at its lunar height, in a world of silver set”. So he “laughed with glee to be merry and free, and he faster earthward raced” -- source link
