Enoch Arden

Enoch Arden (1864) is a poem of Alfred Tennyson (1809 – 1892). It is one of his happiest efforts to translate an incident of common life into the domain of poetry.

Enoch Arden is also the hero of the poem from whom the poem derives its name. He was a sailor, presumed to be lost, and whose wife marries another. On his return from the sea, after a long absence, he finds his wife happily wedded to another person. He, then, bears the sorrow rather than disturbing her felicity by revealing himself. He preferred not to disclose himself, and dies broken-hearted.
