Detailed explanation-1: -What does this stanza reveal about Paul Revere’s friend? He is always on the alert for any enemy sounds and movement. What is most likely the reason the poet includes references to “the dead”? He uses that phrase as a constant reminder to the colonists of the possible fate that awaits them.
Detailed explanation-2: -"A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, / And a word that shall echo for evermore!” This line tells what happened the day after his ride, which is the day of the battle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paul Revere’s Ride tells the story of Paul Revere and his historic ride to warn the town that the British soldiers were coming. It details Revere making the plan with the other soldier and continues through his ride and the resulting interaction between the British and American soldiers.
Detailed explanation-4: -In some ways, it’s pretty regular, even kind of sing-songy: hear, Revere, or five, alive. But sometimes things do switch around. Sometimes the rhymes alternate (like in lines 6 to 9, CDCD), and sometimes they come all in a row (like at the end of the stanza: alarm, farm, arm, FFF).
