Why do the tender days never come back in the life of the poet?

The words tender grace are the two that captivated me most in reading this poem. Instantly I connected these words with a vivid nostalgia that the writer seems to be reliving. But instead of just a particular memory, he seems to be focusing on the atmosphere of this day. The repetition of the word "break" I believe to be the waves breaking around him, creating a kind of white noise around the subject of the poem. The shouting of children playing nearby and the singing sailor all create a background noise that contrasts the solemn tone brought on by the writer. The day around the writer seems so bright in comparison to what the writer feels.
