In the lonely parts of the ocean demons commune with one another but below them, where no other can tread, are the “young, the bright, the fair” the men that have been lost to the waters.They rest there “calmly,” in a world that is the equal of heaven.

Hawthorne’s speaker finishes this poem by elaborating on the idea that the earth and ocean have feelings. These emotions are based off of those felt by those that inhabit the planet, and have allowed the earth to create places of happiness to rival those of despair( I read this but can't remember clearly my sir give to me this summary for get topI mark. my sir gave this summary so this is almost right) have a great day
