Reaction to The Splendor Falls

Lord Alfred Tennyson attributes very dynamic verbs to his observations, for example:
"splendor falls" (1), "light shakes" (3), "cataract leaps"(4), "echoes flying" (5)
which makes everything seem more alive....
setting nice contrast to the bugle's answering echoes are "dying, dying, dying"
 With words such as "splendor"(1), "glory"(4), "rich" (13) and phrases like "O, hark, O, hear!" (7) and "O, sweet"(9) shows how the speaker admires the richness and dynamics of nature.
