Beautiful poem on sea journey is hauntingly delineated by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
A joyful get together of friends after a sea journey is narrated in a beautiful way makes this poem enjoyable! Kudos to the great Poet Tennyson!
These poems have the depth and nothing happens in a moment, anon, as the poem says. Takes time to dive deep where the light is. .
The alliterative verse with great rhythm is the significant attribute of Tennyson’s poetry! The fathomless beauty of his poetry is unique!
