The personification in the excerpt creates a reassuring feeling. The night-wind is depicted as whispering "All is well!", which provides a sense of comfort and safety in the context of the night watch.
Use the excerpt from the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to answer the question.
. . . he could hear, like a sentinel’s tread,
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper, “All is well!”
