What a beautiful poem. I love Matthew Arnold's poetry and so we'll read. Neville had a wonderful speaking voice full of music and beauty and pathos. Thank you for this

Samuel Barber composed the music for this poem in 1931.
Barber was abaritone and had a fine voice, he sang his own music to Dover beach in 1937,
which recording is still in existence. Pls go to : Samuel Barber :Dover beach, posted by Roger York.
A fine recording for sure.

Thank you!

This poem stands on its own. Adding music to the lyric diminishes the lyric and the music. Matthew Arnold's wonderful poem is best heard unadulterated, as I'm sure the poet intended!

Broo 😭 I have my literature exam after 3 days and It's soooooo very difficult to answer any questions from this poem

[@unknownkingdom]

What is th meaning of "darkling", as in "darkling plain"? I have a guess but probaly wrong

[@metrisch]

The Oxford Dictionary:
'darkling /Ⴀˈdɑːklɪŋ/ Ⴂadjective literary relating to growing darkness.
