The tide rises, the tide falls,

The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea-sands damp and brown
The traveller hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

The poem "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls" best fits the genre of a lyric poem. A lyric poem is a type of poetry that expresses personal emotions, thoughts, and reflections of the poet. It often focuses on a single image or idea and conveys the poet's feelings about it. In this poem, the repeated phrase "the tide rises, the tide falls" emphasizes the cyclical nature of life and death, while the changing scenes of twilight, darkness, and morning create a sense of contrast and evoke emotions. Therefore, the poem supports the answer of being a lyric poem by expressing thoughts and feelings about a single image or idea.
