Answer 1

The title suggests the timelessness and regularity of nature, which continues regardless of our presence, as opposed to our momentary residence here. Further foreshadowing is here: "The little waves, with their soft, white hands Efface the footprints in the sands," and here is what's foreshadowed: "The day returns, but nevermore Returns the traveler to the shore."

Answer 2

the  rising and falling of the tide.

Constant never ending cycle of moving. The tide is something that Will come in and Will leave, there is no question of that.You've heard the old adage of, coming in with the tide or heading out with the tide? The tide coming in and going out is One of natures guaranties. So when a person is associated with the tide they are being labeled as one whom assuredly will leave, just as assuredly that they came, as the tide does.

Answer 3

'The tide rises' - suggests there will be a climax or a positive future.

'The tide falls' - suggests an anti-climax or disappointment...

Answer 4

"the tide falls" makes it sound like something bad will happen, eg. the traveler will not come back, its probably not hard to figure out after reading the title and the first few pages of the book
