What does the wind play in the poem "Daybreak"?

OR, How does Longfellow describe the activities of the wind in his poem "Daybreak"?

Ans: Longfellow in his poem 'Daybreak' has presented the wind as a messenger of Nature. It can speak like a human being. At dawn, it rises from the sea. Then it asks the mists to make room for its movement. It requests the mariners to sail on. Then it inspires the forest to hang out its leaves,  the birds to sing, the chanticleer to crow, the corn to bow and greet the morning and the belfry-tower to ring its bell to proclaim the hour. When it blows across the churchyard,  it sighs for the dead and asks them to lie quietly. Actually, the wind performs the function of an alarm clock. It announces the beginning of a new day.
