“The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls”

Question

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems

“The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls”

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls; The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveller to the shore, And the tide rises, the tide falls.

What does this stanza tell you about the passage of time (what time of the day is it?

It is morning but the passage of time represents the cycle of life and death.
