1. All night the thirsty beach has listening lain
   With patience dumb,
   Counting the slow, sad moments of her pain;
   Now morn has come,
   And with the morn the punctual tide again.—SUSAN COOLIDGE, Flood-Tide
   

2. The western tide crept up along the sand,
   And o'er and o'er the sand,
   And round and round the sand,
   As far as eye could see
   The rolling mist came down and hid the land:
   And never home came she.—CHARLES KINGSLEY, The Sands o' Dee
   

3. The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
   Efface the footprints in the sands,
   And the tide rises, the tide falls.—LONGFELLOW, The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls
   

4. Every tide hath its ebb.—Proverb
   

5. There is a tide in the affairs of men,
   Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
   Omitted, all the voyage of their life
   Is bound in shallows and in miseries.—SHAKESPEARE, Julius Caesar
   

6. Tide flowing is feared, for many a thing,
   Great danger to such as be sick, it doth bring;
   Sea ebb, by long ebbing, some respite doth give
   And sendeth good comfort, to such as shall live.—THOMAS TUSSER, 500 Points of Good Husbandrie
