SUMMARY OF THE POEM:
Browning’s poem ‘Meeting at Night’ is a romantic poem tells us how to make love and relationship. The poem starts with the description of landscape, sea and the moon. At night to meet his beloved, the lover first makes a journey through the sea with a boat. After reaching at the shore, he walks a mile through the “warm sea-scented beach”. Then he crosses three fields and ultimately his destination, the farm where his beloved lives, comes in front of him. He gives “a tap at the pane”. The ladylove responds by a hushed voice and lights a match. Their hearts feel with fears and joys. Also they are so much excited that the sounds of their heart-beats become louder than the hushed voice uttered by them.
