( a ) In the second stanza the poet feels the tree appears to be wishing to fly when it is moving in the wind; the tree might be thinking its fronds are wings and in the wind it appears to be trying to move them to fly. In the third stanza also the poet thinks the palm tree to be endeavoring to fly beyond the sky.

( b ) May be it is flying beyond the stars in its imagination. In the fourth stanza the poet feels when the wind stops the palm tree's efforts to fly also cease; its fronds do not move, they become quiet. The poet feels this subsiding of actions of the tree is symbolic of its realization that it is a tree – not a bird.
