Question

Explain the ending of the poem Tree​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the final stanza the speaker exhorts the reader to listen. She wants attention. Glass is breaking, a sure sign that this change is serious and permanent; there may be damage done.

And then the imagery completely takes over, the poem becoming cinematic as the moon, that symbol of femininity, emotion and physical change, breaks like a mirror (another symbol of the reflected former self) the fragmented image lighting up the tallest tree, an oak, the strongest, most durable of trees.

Hope this answer helps you out.
