Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Personification: “The watchful night-wind, as it went creeping along from tent to tent, and seeming to whisper, “All is well!"
Detailed explanation-2: -Lines 52-56 On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats. The sight of the British ships pulls the narrator back into the moment and the mission. The army is crossing the river on its way to the other side.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Paul Revere’s Ride” is less a poem about the Revolutionary War than about the impending Civil War-and about the conflict over slavery that caused it.
