Describe the setting in stanza 5 ..... Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead, In their night-encampment on the hill, Wrapped in silence so deep and stillThat he could hear, like a sentinels tread, The watchful night-wind, as it wentCreeping along from tent to tent, And seeming to whisper, All is well!A moment only he feels the spellOf the place and the hour, and the secret dreadOf the lonely belfry and the dead;For suddenly all his thoughts are bentOn a shadowy something far away, Where the river widens to meet the bay, -A line of black, that bends and floatsOn the rising tide, like a bridge of boats.
