What is a summary of "The Lotos-Eaters"?

"The Lotos-Eaters" was first published in 1832. The poem tells the story of a group of sailors who, after eating the lotos fruit, fall into a state of narcosis. They become lethargic and insensible.
At the beginning of the poem the sailors reach "a land / in which it seemed always afternoon." This mysterious land appears "languid" and like "a weary dream." There are waterfalls on this land, and they produce "a slumberous sheet of foam below." The word "slumberous" adds to the overall impression that this is a place that seems to exist in a semi-conscious state—in the space between being asleep and being awake.
The sailors then see the "Mild-eyed melancholy Lotos-eaters" who seem to be indigenous to this land. These are people with "Dark faces pale" who seem, like the land, to be half-asleep. They carry branches which are "Laden with flower and fruit," and they offer this fruit to the sailors.
Tennyson then describes what happens to the sailors when they eat the fruit they are offered. Their voices become "thin, as voices from the grave," and though they are "yet all awake," they appear to have fallen "deep-asleep." They also hear their own heartbeats as "Music" in their ears. The overall effect seems very much to be the same that one might expect after taking a narcotic. The most significant effect is that the sailors become drowsy and languid, like the "Lotos-eaters”"before them and like the land that they have reached.
At the end of the poem, the sailors sit down on the beach and dream of their families back home. However, they have become so languid and so lethargic that they can no longer return. They decide that their homes are too "far beyond the wave" and that they will "no longer roam."
