    I need major help! I'm doing an analysis on a poem called Night by Louise Bogan and I just do not get this poem at all. Can you please do a line by line analysis for me? I just need what each line means not all the literary devices used. I desperately need this help. Here is how it goes.

    heres some extra info its like the background info. You should read this before you analyze poem.
    The power of the sea pulses throughout the lives of the villagers in the novel, for the sea gives both life and death. At the novel's conclusion, Remedios ( A character in the book A Place Where the Sea Remembers by Sandra Benitez) waits patiently at the seashore, contemplating the mysteries of life as the sun sets slowly. In the following poem, the speaker reflects, upon the mysterious and powerful rythms of the sea

    Thanks Again!

    Night
    by Louise Bogan

    The Cold remote islands
    And the blue estuaries
    Where what breathes, breathes
    The restless wind of the inlets
    And what drinks, drinks
    The incoming tide;

    Where shell and weed
    Wait upon the salt wash of the sea,
    And the clear nights of stars
    Swing their lights westward
    To set behind the land;

    Where the clinging to the rocks
    Renews itself forever;
    Where, again on cloudless nights,
    The water reflects
    the firmament's partial setting;

    -O remember
    In your narrowing dark hours
    That more things move
    Than blood in the heart.

    Thank You!!!
