This poem starts out by setting the scene in a beach with the moon in the sky to let the reader know that it is dark. The poet uses personification by saying that the waves “leaped”. Also the man in the poem comes ashore to the “cove”. The cove sounds to me like a place if safety and shelter. After the guy in the poem is ashore, he begins his journey of walking to across three fields to get to a farm house. Apparently, the girl he either likes or is dating lives there. Once the house is in view he walks up to the window and knocks on it to get her attention. The ending I thought just meant that they were going to live happily ever after. The only thing I didn’t understand in this poem was the second to last line that states “And a voice less sound, thro’ its joys and fears”. I kind of just assumed that this meant that even though their life has struggles they will still love each other.
