Question

Why are the people exulting

Answer 1

Answer:

→ Exulting means to celebrate with great energy or enthusiasm.

→ I know this because they are also ringing bells and later in the poem it says they are crowded together waiting with wreaths and bouquets.

→ The people standing at the port are exulting (their eyes are following the ship (line 4)), so they can't be on it.
