About
The narrator of the poem observes the beach from their house and notices how empty it is due to the rain. They see someone they care about walking on the beach without an umbrella or clothes, despite the cold and thunder. The narrator wonders what the person is waiting for and expresses a desire to dry them off and spend time together under the moon. However, the narrator acknowledges that they have been advised by a doctor to stay away and keep their coat on. They imply that they are to blame for the situation, having studied while the other person slept. The narrator feels unable to provide advice and suggests letting go and saying goodbye, even though the other person continues to long for something that was not true. The poem ends with a question about who lacks the courage to leave and who would rather stay and endure.
