Question

What are the images and symbols used in the poem?
related to poem The Laburnum Top​

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is a beautiful poem in which the poet has used the laburnum tree and

goldfinches as a symbol of life and its fluctuations. Here, the poet describes how

the visit of a goldfinch changes the laburnum tree.The goldfinch transforms the

tree and makes it come alive as the chicks of the bird starts to rustle and chirp on

seeing her. Once she leaves the tree, it becomes quiet and still again. The tree

symbolizes the pattern of our life in general, which is usually dull and inanimate.

Without the bird, the tree is just like another tree. In other words, it is the

attitude of a person towards life that makes life meaningful and worth living.
