Answers
Tree being a friend of Sun and sky, provides shade, survives on sunlight. The comparison is elating, as to why its the flag of breezes. Planted, yes it is, grows to a height of a tower, and stands as the redefinition of beauty.
The branches and the spreading happiness becomes the abode to birds, of which the hushed chirping and sounds are heard during evening twilight. The harmonious existence is heard throughout the time, with a rising pitch.
The last line answers the question initially asked.
The question is repeated, for which the poet himself tends to answer it. The tree provides, shade, binds the soil retains the water/moisture. Heritage is something which relates to the growth of greenery all around starting with the tree that has been planted at this juncture. It’s the only line that talks about the future. His children get to see the happiness of seeing the tree grow, provide shade, bloom and add to the natural beauty of his surrounding., which will ultimately provide joy/happiness.
These are the things he gets when he plants the tree.
In the love of home, his abode, a plant that grows into a tree, symbol of loyalty, token of love that has been bestowed upon it, when he planted the tree, all comes down to something that reflects the civic responsibility and deed, that ends up accentuating the aesthetics of the neighborhood. The blessings and good intentions that he wishes upon the same.
When a tree is planted, it sets in motion the improvement of a nation from sea to sea. Exponential growth can be seen, all because of one kind and civic duty followed by him who plants a tree.

Answer:
The Heart of the Tree by the American poet and novelist Henry Cuyler Bunner is a fine piece of poetry with a simple theme and a simpler structure. The poem was originally published in 1912.
Planting a tree is always a great work for the mankind. But, the poet has found out new ways to look at the plants and plantation. In his poem The Heart of the Tree he glorifies the act further, shows how a tree helps life on earth and says that it has a direct connection to a nation’s growth.
All the three stanzas of the poem The Heart of the Tree starts with a refrain with the poet asking what the man actually plants who plants a tree. Then he chooses to reply it by himself and shows what a tree means to the humankind and to the nature, thus proving how great that man is.
The rhythm is amazing. The rhyme scheme is ABABBCCAA for each stanza. This is a deviation from the celebrated Spenserian stanza, a nine line stanza with the scheme ABABBCBCC. Though the language is simple, careful wordings makes the poem more expressive and obviously musical and attractive.
