This is compared to the human movement through a traveller who walks to town without noticing the passage of time. The constant cycle of nature represents the endless passage of time. In the second stanza, there is the same comparison. The city is organised by human time. Men go to sleep in their houses at night, however, nature goes on moving as if it were indifferent to this human organization of time. The sea goes on moving.  In the third stanza, the comparison is made bewteen ,during day light , the activity on a farm and , again, the natural cycle of natural time.
