The poem is about the beauty or satisfaction of planting a tree. The poet is describing what is that is actually planted while planting a tree. When somebody plants a tree, he not only plants a tree but a friend of sun, sky and breeze. the sky's brightness, sun's warmth,and the touch of breeze makes them a friend of plant. The stems are like beauty shafts which keeps growing. He plants a home to heaven for birds, their crooning and hushed voices in it. He plants a future, the tree will bring rain and coolness to the environment, the tree will become an identity of habitat, the tree will become food for future generation. He is becoming a good citizen of his country by planting a tree, he is bringing joy and blessings to the neighborhood .All this will make the land fertile, a boon to mankind

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.
