Question

In the poem the Heart of the tree, what is the meaning of the line ' He plants the glory of the plain'?

Answer 1

In Henry Cuyler Bunner's poem The Heart of the Tree the poet sees the trees as the 'glory of the plain'. As the hills and rocks make a mountainous area beautiful, trees hold the beauty of the plain land. Without trees, a plain would resemble a desert without any rain and cultivation.
