Question

Why is the tree still silent in the end of the poem laburnum tree?

Answer 1

Answer:

The beginning of the poem describes a silent laburnum tree which has no noise, movement or life. The ending is also similar where the goldfinch flies away into the vast sky. But the middle part of the poem shows us a totally transformed tree with noise of the young ones compared to a machine.

Answer 2

The laburnum tree was silent because of the lack of livelihood and movement in the tree. There was an absence of life which made the tree lifeless and silent. After the arrival of the Goldfinch and her young ones on the trees, the tree became lively.
