Imagery• “Break, Break, Break, on the cold gray stones O sea!” is
imagery for the water hitting the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.

Imagery• The “haven under the hill” creates imagery for a sort of
heaven if you don’t know the actual meaning at first which is actually a port.

Imagery• “The stately ship” makes me imagine just a black and
white ship in the water sailing.

Imagery
• “Day that is dead” makes me imagine the end of a day with all time wasted.

Poetic/Literary Terms
• This poem has a rhyme scheme that has a word in the first line that won’t rhyme with a word on the third line and a word on the 2nd line that will rhyme with a word on the 4th line, and this goes for every stanza in the poem.

Poetic/Literary Terms
• The repetition and onomatopoeia with the word “Break” to simulate the water hitting the rocks on a cliff, so that you know when it goes from happy to everyone in the water or on a boat dying.

Poetic/Literary Terms
• “Haven under the hill” is a metaphor for the port that the ships anchor at when not in use.

Speaker
• I think the speaker of the poem is a man who is viewing all of these events happening in the poem to show losing a loved one to the ocean

Figurative Meaning
• What ever is dead will never come back to you is what I think is the figurative meaning because of the two lines that say “ But the tender grace of the day is dead will never come back to me.”

Literal Meaning
The literal meaning for the poem is that anything or any time wasted is gone forever. The reason is that the poem describes children at play and a sailor in a boat, then it says “ Break, Break, Break” which could mean their time is up or there life is over.

Author’s Purpose
• I think the Author’s purpose of the poem is that at any moment a joyful day can be destroyed by a storm (something that changes in your life) and change everybody’s life.

THEME
• The overall message and life lesson of the poem is it is hard for people who have been through a tragic event to trust anyone again.
