Question

The tide rises the tide falls
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Q1) where is the traveller going ?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The phrase in the simple sense means that the traveler is walking along the seashores at the time of dusk and is going towards town. However, in a deeper context, the traveler is a human being who is old now. The dark scene of sea-shore depicts his final stage and town here refers to death.
