AT DIEPPE: 3. RAIN ON THE DOWN by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: NIGHT, AND THE DOWN BY THE SEA
Last Line: AS SHE CAME TO ME OUT OF THE RAIN.
Subject(s): DIEPPE, FRANCE; RAIN;
Night, and the down by the sea,
And the veil of rain on the down;
And she came through the mist and the rain to me
From the safe warm lights of the town.

The rain shone in her hair,
And her face gleamed in the rain;
And only the night and the rain were there
As she came to me out of the rain.
