Question

Why does the poet say:Loveliest of trees,the cherry....?Would it have sounded better if he had written:The cherry is loveliest of trees?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The cherry tree is the "loveliest of trees" because it is that type of tree that has made the speaker realize that the world is full of many beautiful things—many, many "blooms." ... At the same time, the tree's blossoms also remind him of snow, of the winter to come and of his own eventual death.
