Meeting at Night BY ROBERT BROWNING I The grey sea and the long black land; And the yellow halfmoon 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. II Then a mile of warm seascented 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! 1 5 10 List some examples of imagery used in the poem. ______________________________________________________________________________ Give examples and line numbers of the poet’s use of personification. ______________________________________________________________________________ This particular poem best fits which of the following structures? ______________________________________________________________________________ What point of view does the poem’s speaker use? ______________________________________________________________________________ What examples of onomatopoeia do you see in the poem? ______________________________________________________________________________
