Question

excerpt from Dover Beach
by William Arnold
The sea is calm tonight.
The tide is full,the moon lies fair
Upon the straits; on the French coast
the light
Gleams and is gone the cliffs of
England stand,
5 Glimmering and vast,out in the tranquil
bay.
Come to the window.sweet is the
night-air!
Only, from the long line of spray
Where the sea meets the moon-
blanched land,
Listen! you hear the grating roar
10 Of pebbles which the waves draw
back, and fling,
At their return, up the high strand,
Begin, and cease, and then again
begin,
With tremulous cadence slow and
bring
The eternal note of sadness in.
