I need help to anaylsis this poem?

Sounds like something drippy written by someone who sat on a beach all day drinking himself into a stupor.....babbling about the waves and the wind.

That's my careful and thoughtful anaylsis

In this poem Longfellow describes the sound of the sea as the waves lap against the shore and the tide rises. He compares the rush of the tide to rushes of inspiration people experience sometimes. He also suggests that those inspirations might be a way of divine "foreshadowing and foreseeing" as opposed to the regularity with which the tide rises. Just like the tide of the sea, the tide of the soul is beyond our control as well.

The obvious imagery in this poem describes the sea and the waves of the tide. However, if you read this poem carefully out loud, not only do the actual words describe the sea and the waves, but the rhythm of the poem go along with this imagery very well.
Notice also that the word "cataract" is not meant in the sense of the eye disorder but means high or very large waterfall.
