Answer:

Upon the straits; on the French coast, the light

Gleams and is gone; = the loss of faith

Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore

Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled = support and certainty of faith

Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear

And naked shingles of the world. = exposes the sorrows of the people

Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,

Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; = helpless and lacking certainty of faith

Step-by-step explanation:
