Poem: Meeting at Night

I
The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the started 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.

II
Then a smile 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, thro'its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
