meeting at night by robert browning

Task III. Please explain what do you understand from the poem?

They grey sea and the long black land;
•And the yellow half-moon large and low;
•And the startled little waves that lap
•In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
•As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
•And quench its speed I’ the slushy sand.
•Then 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 spurt of a lighted match,
•And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
•And the two hearts beating each to each!
–Robert Browning ( 1812-1889):
