Meeting at Night by Robert Browning
"Meeting at night," by Robert Browning is about going to great deapths to be with the one you love. This describes what a man and a woman will do to see each other and be in each other's arms, the poem wrote about how they passed a beach and as they did the bright moon hung over head. This poem includes many poetic devices, one is imagery the phrase "And the yellow half-moon large and low," is an example of imagery. The phrase creates the image of a person looking up and noticing a bright, half-moon in the dark, night sky. Another poetic device this poem includes is personification in lines 3 and 4 it read, "the startled little waves that leap/ in fiery ringlets from there sleep." Leaping and sleeping are human characteristics. This poem also includes a regular rhyme scheme is goes a,b,c,c,b,d,e,f,g,g,f,h. Robert Browning is one of my favorite poets, he uses good wording and I am excited to read more of his poem throughout my high school career.
The gray sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low: And the startled little waves that leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove with pushing prow, And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
Than a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch And blue apurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, through joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each

The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low:
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.
Than a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue apurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each
