Answer 2

ANSWER:

This line is taken from the poem ‘Lochinvar’ by Sir Walter Scott. The poem portrays a period of Lochinvar’s life, where he falls in love with Ellen, a King’s daughter. But the King does not approve their wedding and she gets engaged to another man.  

The given line conveys the message that his love for Ellen swells like Solway. Solway is a place in United States. He says that his love for her is increasing like Solway. Even though he loves her, the love moves away from the land like tide, because she had decided to marry another man. But he still loves her and wishes to get her back.
