Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: Poems
The tide Rises,The Tide Falls
In what way are the cycles of time and tides constant(and keep going)?
In what way are the cycles of time and tides constant(and keep going)?
The speaker talks about the tide rising and falling during different aspects of life: it is continual. Consider the last stanza:
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.
