Answer 2

Answer:

The Prayer of the Woods” is said to be an English translation of a Portuguese poem. This original Portuguese poem is known as “Ao viandante”, which roughly translates as “to one who passes by” or “to the person who passes through this place””. It is said to have been written by a poet known as Veiga Simoes in the month of May in 1914. This Portuguese poem is inscribed in stone near a tree inside the walls of the Castelo de S.Jorge, a castle in the capital city of Portugal, that is, in Lisbon.

The Setting of The Prayer of the Woods:

This poem is usually seen at the start of forest trails. Hence, it serves as a message for travellers along those trails. Those trails are heavily wooded, and very often, the trees growing along those trails are cut down for their wood. The poet imagines himself to be a tree in this poem, and one of those that grow along a certain forest trail and one that is liable to be cut down as well. Hence, the environment in which it grows is its natural habitat, but it is an unsafe place. This entire poem is an appeal to the human race to make that environment safe by requesting human beings never to cut down trees.The poem consists of 4 stanzas. Each of these stanzas is again made up of 3 lines. Hence, the entire poem consists of 12 lines in total. This poem is written in the first person, but the speaker of the poem is not the poet himself. The poet imagines himself to be a tree, so the speaker of the poem is that tree.
