Night/Morning- Robert Browning

As I began reading "Meeting at Night," I discovered that it was about lovers because in the last line, it said "Than the two hearts beating each to each." The meaning I got from this line is that these two people are united as one. There is something about the title that confuses me. If these two people are lovers, why are they only meeting at night? Then, I concluded that their relationship could be one kept secret from others. The evidence I found in the auditory imagery was "... a voice less found, through its joys and fears..." The auditory imagery in my head shows of the two lovers whisper from their fear of being caught.

"Parting at Morning" was a bit harder to understand because there isn't a lot of text to analyze. When I looked at these two poems together, I thought Robert Browning was talking about a one night stand because the poet doesn't explicitly state that the poem is about love. That is found through the imagery the poet uses to describe the lovers meeting. There is a great use of visual and auditory imagery that allows the reader to see and hear what the lovers see and hear.
