In stanza three, the stanza pertaining to "good men," the portion "the last wave by" depicts the old man's generation as fewer and fewer still live. The color symbolism of the "green bay" lets us know that the speaker refers to the young and new generation of yesterday. Stanza four's reference to "wild men" .....

.... obvious symbol, might be the use of "midnight" in the first verse, and "December" in the second verse. Both midnight and December symbolize an end of something, and the anticipation of a transition to occur.

The word "Seraphim" in the fourteenth verse, "perfumed by an unseen censer .....
