Question: Is the poem,“The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls” descriptive, narrative, or lyric?

Which one and please explain why.

I think it could be lyric because of elegy, but I also think it could be narrative because of ballad.

I know the poem involves death but I don't think it's mourning death like elegy would suggest because the cycle of life continues.

"Tarnished Gold"

My golden years have been a slow descent
From youthful vigor and vitality.
I rise and by the dinner hour I'm spent.

So much remains, how can I be content
To scrape my fingers on eternity?
My golden years have been a slow descent,

A settling, a grievous long lament,
As I assume a new identity:
I rise and by the dinner hour I'm spent.

I ponder what I've lost, and I resent
That there is neither cure nor clemency.
My golden years have been a slow descent

And now, there is no way to circumvent
What lies ahead, the greatest mystery…
I rise and by the dinner hour I'm spent.

I've been evicted, though I paid the rent;
I hunger, but forgot the recipe.
My golden years have been a slow descent;
I rise and by the dinner hour I'm spent.

Question: Just a thought, opinions please?

A Birth

We hold this tiny being
whose future is yet to be written.
A blank page for her to fill
and a plan ? for her to follow.

We see many wondrous things,
through the eyes of love
and rose colored glasses.
We view her life from above.

Question: Both crapseys and Plaths poems address the theme of?
