Answer:
the trees is written by adrienne rich. this poem tells us about the trees which are trying to come out of the house as they are kept in the house for our requirement. the trees are coming out of the window by breaking the glass of the pane. also the winds are rushing to meet them! the poet here has also compared the trees as women. as in in 19th century women were not allowed to go out of their homes. So this poem indicates or compares the trees with the women!
hope it was helpful ! ❤ all the best for boards! same here tho!

THE TREES
SUMMARY
The poet talks about trees symbolically. They refer to women who have been healed and
are ready to move out of their houses to fulfil their primary purpose - to renew the
forest of mankind. As women have remained indoors, the forest has become empty, the
birds and insects rendered shelterless. The Sun's rays do not have the tree trucks and
leaves to fall upon and thus, reach the earth. She says that the forest will be full of trees
the next morning. The roots of the trees are working hard to separate from the floor of
the veranda where they have remained fixed. The leaves and branches are moving
towards the glass windows. They are desperate to move out just like a newly discharged
patient who has not recovered completely, moves to the exit door of the hospital in a
hurry. The poet is sitting in her house with the doors of the veranda open. She is writing
letters but does not mention this movement of the trees. It is night time, the sky is clear
and a bright moon is visible. She can smell the leaves and lichen which seem to be
calling out desperately. She hears the glass of the window pane breaking. The trees are
moving out and the fast blowing wind embraces them. As the trees have reached the
forest, the tall and strong oak tree overshadows the moon and it seems that the moon
has been broken into several pieces.
