Question

Comment on the Theme and style of the poem the heart of the Tree

Answer 1

What does he plant who plants a tree?    He plants a friend of sun and sky; He plants the flag of breezes free;    The shaft of beauty, towering high;    He plants a home to heaven anigh;       For song and mother-croon of bird       In hushed and happy twilight heard— The treble of heaven’s harmony— These things he plants who plants a tree. What does he plant who plants a tree?    He plants cool shade and tender rain, And seed and bud of days to be,    And years that fade and flush again;       He plants the glory of the plain;       He plants the forest’s heritage;       The harvest of a coming age; The joy that unborn eyes shall see— These things he plants who plants a tree. What does he plant who plants a tree?    He plants, in sap and leaf and wood, In love of home and loyalty    And far-cast thought of civic good—    His blessings on the neighborhood,       Who in the hollow of His hand       Holds all the growth of all our land— A nation’s growth from sea to sea Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.
