Read the third stanza of "The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls."

The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but nevermore
Returns the traveller to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.

Which statement best describes the purpose of the word “nevermore”?
