What is Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold about?

This poem describes a scene overlooking the sea from Dover Beach. It describes the calm sea under the moonlight and invites the listener to come to the window to enjoy the peaceful night air. However, listening closely to the grating roar of the waves reveals an underlying tone of sadness and retreat, like the receding of faith. The poem suggests that in a world without certainty or peace, all we have is each other for comfort against the darkness.
