Read the first stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls." 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.

to give a sense of the time of year
to evoke sadness within the reader
