Explanation:    

• The question has been extracted from the poem ‘The Laburnum Top’.

• This poem is penned by Ted Hughes. It is about a repaying relationship between the Laburnum tree and the Goldfinch bird.

• The tree is yellow, quiet and passing-like and is made alive by the bird and her young ones.

• The yellow bird has her sanctuary on the tree where she takes care of her young ones. Be that as it may, when the bird passes on to fly overhead, the tree becomes quiet and demise once more.
• When the goldfinch shows up, her more youthful ones begin twittering like a machine and vibrating and fluttering their wings.
• The death-approaching Laburnum tree becomes alive and it shudders and shakes.
• In the wake of taking care of them, the migratory bird travels to the opposite side of the branch.
• Her dull-hued face with the yellow body was scarcely noticeable as she vanished behind the yellow leaves. She took off overhead, leaving the tree demise once more.
