The poet Cuyler Burner in his poem 'The Heart of the Tree' emphasizes the importance of trees and explains how trees are a symbol of harmony and joy for the progeny. Within them lies the secret of the welfare of a society and a nation's growth.
The shade and rain they give are invaluable. Their seeds enrich the flora of the earth and riches in plenty for the generations to come 'unborn eyes'. In their leaf, sap and wood of the trees symbolize love and loyalty of the person who plants them and they bring 'civic good' and a nation's growth.
The poet has used a rich imagery to bring out the effect of the blessings that are showered on the humankind by the benevolent trees and the one who plants the tree brings growth not only for himself but his entire nation.
