Question

Now, read the poem.
Like a huge Python, winding round and round
The rugged trunk, indented deep with scars,
Up to its very summit near the stars,
A creeper climbs, in whose embraces bound
No other tree could live. But gallantly
The giant wears the scarf, and flowers are hung
In crimson clusters all the boughs among,
Whereon all day are gathered bird and bee;
And oft at nights the garden overflows
With one sweet song that seems to have no close,
Sung darkling from our tree, while men repose.

The sweet memories of the past are associated with the tree.Explanation: In this opening stanza the poetess describes the Casuarina tree in detail. It is so tall that it touches the sky. It is very strong also. A creeper has embraced it on all sides so tightly that there are many marks like wounds. Other tree could not have lived so long in so tight embrace. The sweet chirping song of the birds and melodious music and humming of bees give joy to the poetess. This song comes from the tree even in the dark while people are taking rest in the night.
