Have you ever had a crush on someone that your parents didn't approve of, or whose parents didn't like you? Maybe you have, or maybe you haven't, but that's not really the point. "Meeting at Night" isn't only about secret love affairs. It's about the lengths we go to satisfy our passions, the obstacles we're willing to overcome.
In the poem, the speaker sails over a part of the ocean, then walks a mile on the beach, then across three fields, before he reaches the farm house where, interestingly, he just hears a voice. Sounds like a pretty small reward for a ginormous amount of effort right? Maybe it seems like that to us, but we bet you can think of a time when you expended a lot of effort to do something you wanted to do really badly. (Maybe it involved a Black Friday sale… ) No doubt there were plenty of people who were shocked at the amount of effort you expended for what appeared to them to be a small reward. So maybe we're not so different from the speaker after all, even if we aren't having a forbidden love affair.
