Question

in the poem 'The Poplar Field' why is the poet saddened by the cutting down of the poplar trees ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The poplars are cut down which used to grow along the Ouse River. The river doesn’t reflect the beautiful shadows of these trees. The musical environment has been ruined now. The leaves don’t blow the air and sing a song in a happy mood. There are also no shades. These trees were once in the field but now they have become seats. Not only the environment has been ruined but there is also a destruction of the blackbird’s habitat. The bird used to add charm in that beautiful environment by its different types of melodious songs. It has transferred its nest to the hazel trees to get shelter and shade.
