Question

What mood does this stanza from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s “The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” evoke in the reader?

Answer 1

Answer:

The mood of the poem is somehow scary but yet calm and also for some spreads a sense of peace.

Explanation:

It shows that life is constantly on the move waiting for no one. And it doesn't even matter if it brings death or happiness, because everyone has to go through all the phases of life and is made for everyone, no matter how small or big, or how rich or poor we may be. The inevitability of death and sadness is something that everyone is destined for and no one can be sure of when they are going to die. But whatever may be the case, it is all a part of God's plan for us humans and we can do nothing about it.
