The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And 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 is the repetitive language Longfellow used? What does the poem mean? How does the language reinforce the meaning of the poem?
When you have a paragraph, we'll be glad to check it. And I hope it's better punctuated than your transcription of the assignment! I could hardly read it.

The repetition, "The tide rises, the tide falls," suggests the continuous motion of the sea. This supports the theme that human life and works are transitory. This poem presents the perspective of an old traveler who is standing on the verge of death. The poet presents the never-ending rise and fall of the tides in contrast with the finite journey of the traveler to show the mortality of life, as in the line "The day returns, but nevermore
/Returns the traveler to the shore." The constant rise and fall of the tides emphasize the reoccurring cycle of life in the universe, where people are born, go through different phases of life and then silently leave. Also, time washes away the spots of their existence. However, what stays in the minds of the readers is the impacts of the transience of life and eternity of the tides.
