I at first thought the poem was about the end of the world and human life
but then it came to seem that the wrath of the oceans had once killed a
happy person and broken their life.

When I analyzed this poem, I did not see it in a religious point of view.
My interpretation was that this poem suggested a deeper meaning than just
waves crashing against the shore. It felt as though the waves were
entertaining thoughts of "doing something to the shore that water had never
done to land before". I read the tone as ominious and strongly hinting
toward Apocalypse. This is only my interpretation.

I thought this poem was about the power of nature. The water has the
ability to erode and to destroy. The stormy weather seems to suggest that
the wateris almost conspiring to attack the shore. But it cannot because it
is luckily backed by a cliff. There is also a biblical reference "Put out
the Light" is a reversal of "Let there be light" In Frost's poetry he
reflects an ambivalence towards nature. This poem conters many traditional
American writers like Whitman who worship nature. Nature is not always
good. It can also destroy.

This poem is not about God sending down his wrath. It's about god
protecting us and saving us for the evil that's about to come. It's like
his telling us that he is not going to let us go untill it is time and it's
not time for us to all die.He is giving us hope and joy to still live and
go on. that's what this poem is about.

I perceived this poem as being a wrath that God is having, about the world
comming to an end.
