The tide may rise and fall.
The ebb and flow of the tide rises and falls. The twilight darkens, and the call of the curlew can be heard as the sea laps against the damp, brown sands. The traveler Hasten for the town and can see the darkness settle over the town's rooftops and walls, but the sea continues to call out in the darkness. The morning arrives, and the horses in their stalls await the break of day, The traveler eventually returns to shore, where the tides continue to rise and fall, and there are no more calls to be heard.
