Help ASAP I NEED HELP PLZZZ!!!!!

This poem also refers to another text in the Bible. Look up the text and explain what the poet means.

I have a cottage by the sea. It's night.
I hear on end, hitting the waves on end
against the rock my cottage stands on
with all the ocean's hectic power.
I hear the winds crying — a whimper, a complaint,
as of lost souls in their need
all roving, lyent, living in grave and death
find no rest, but still seek and yearn.


My fire burns, my cherry gives its light.
I hear how the storm is raging out there,
I hear the winds snatching at my lozenges;
inside it is safe, warm and dense.


Come night, come again and wind, come ocean —
it's a rock my cottage stands on!

I think it means that you are safe in you cottage? And there is a storm going on outside. You are maybe listening to nature? What's going on outside?
