Mr. Flood lost all his family and friend and has no one else in his life. He stared to drink alcohol which makes him start to remember old memories and he talks to himself throughout the poem .

"Well, Mr. Flood, we have the harvest moon

Again, and we may not have many more;

The bird is on the wing, the poet says,

And you and I have said it here before.

Drink to the bird."

This quote does a good job showing Mr.Flood talking to himself and and drinking

" He raised up to the light

The jug that he had gone so far to fill,

And answered huskily: "Well, Mr. Flood,

Since you propose it, I believe I will."

"Well, Mr. Flood, we have not met like this

In a long time; and many a change has come

To both of us, I fear, since last it was

We had a drop together. Welcome home!"
