*The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The tide rises, the tide falls, The twilight darkens, the curlew calls; Along the sea-sands damp and brown. The traveler hastens toward the town, And the tide rises, the tide falls. Returns the traveler to the shore.  *T (title): When I thought about the tide that is continuously rising and falling, I presumed that this poem will be about something that is happening everyday and the feeling of the poem sounded a little bit sad.
