The summary of the poem is - The fisherman goes to the sea early in the morning when others are still asleep and he struggles to get his fish as that’s the only source for him to get his bread.
Half of his life is spent in the sea and half at the shore, here he is termed as part human and part fish.
He has seen both the beauty as well as the dangers of the sea.
He knows everything about the winds and the tides but is clueless about the lavish buildings.
