Answer:

time , sadnesss , death , loss

Explanation:Loss

The poem describes feelings of loss.  

The suffering felt within the poem is connected to the suffering described in Tennyson's In Memoriam. Both describe longing for Tennyson's deceased friend Hallam.  

This longing is voiced in the third stanza of "Break,  

 

Sadness

In "Break, Break, Break," the speaker seems to worry about how much sadness is too much – when is he allowed to get over his grief and enjoy the sights and sounds by the sea again?

Death

The speaker of "Break, Break, Break" never comes out and says that his friend is dead, but his complaints about wishing to "touch" the "vanish'd hand" and to hear "the voice that is still" make us suspect that he has passed away.  

The only thing that is described as explicitly "dead" in the poem is time: the speaker says that the time that he spent with his friend is like a "day that is dead" – it will never return.

Time

The repetition in "Break, Break, Break" suggests the consistency of the speaker's grief and also its slow-but-steady evolution.  The speaker seems to argue that time keeps progressing without change, in spite of his great loss, and yet there are lots of little changes, like in the phrasing of those lines.
