Answer:
It is because he has died. ... The tide falls (that fall here is a metaphor for death, as in "he fell in battle") and it's twilight, which is the "death" of daytime. As well, the traveler's footprints are being washed away ("effaced"). Even though the traveler is dead, though, life goes on

Answer:
Sadly, though, so is the traveler, who will never return to the shore we saw him walking along earlier in the poem. This is not because he's moved to a different part of the country, or because he has decided that he no longer wants to hang out by the shore. It is because he has died.
