MEETING AT NIGHT : Summary

The poem "Meeting at Night" describes the journey of a lover to meet his beloved. The lover sets out in a boat at sea at night. The sea is grey and the land is long and black. The moon in the sky is yellow, half, large and low. The boat startles the sleepy little waves awake and leap in fiery ringlets. The boat reaches the bay on the other side and stops in the slushy sand. The lover then walks a mile along the sea-scented beach and across three fields until he approaches the cottage of his beloved. He gives a tap on the window pane to let his beloved know of his presence and at once with a sudden sharp scratch a match is lit inside with a blue spurt. Then a whisper of the beloved that comes out of her joys and fears, is heard. The voice is less loud than the beatings of the two hearts caused by the deep excitement of their union.
