This is the poem down here:
The Ocean has its
silent cave,
Deep, quiet, and
alone;
Though there be
fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the weary seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitude are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth had guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves.

Explanation:
The speaker describes the sea as though tempestous and uncalm at the surface, is very calm and silent deep in the bottom. It is so calm that the spirits have their meetings there and even the dead are found there. "The awful spirits of the deep hold their communion there; And there are those for whom we weep, The young, the bright, the fair."
He said there is purity and blest under the sea and it provides a better resting place for the dead than the earth which is uncalm and whose graves lack peace and solitude. He said, "The earth had guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves."
The main aim of this poem is to describe the blest, solitude and peace that exist under the ocean, and its suitability for receiving the body of man after death.
