Answer 1

tree speaks to travelers who are about to begin their journey through a forest trail. It tells the travelers how useful trees are to human beings. They come to use at our homes and at work. They come to our use in heat and in cold. They come to our use at every point in our lives from our births to our deaths. Trees are both kind and beautiful. That is why the speaker of this poem requests all travelers never to cut down trees.

Answer 2

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. THIS ENTIRE POEM IS AN APPEAL TO THE HUMAN RACE TO MAKE THAT ENVIRONMENT SAFE BY REQUESTING HUMANS NEVER TO CUT DOWN TREES.
