Write the summary of poem, The Laburnum Top
Answers
The poet describes his experience of what he witnesses in the Laburnum tree. It begins by describing how the leaves of the tree are yellow. Moreover, he notices that the treetop is still and remains silent even in the month of September.
Due to the autumn season, the tree has lost all its leaves and the seeds are on the ground. Most noteworthy, the poet uses ‘yellow’ to describe both, the leaves colour and the sunlight. Over here, yellow represents silence, death and beauty. Thus, he uses this colour and describes the whole setting perfectly

Answer:
Laburnum is known as amaltas in Hindi.
On a bright September afternoon, the laburnum, a short tree with hanging branches and yellow flowers, stood soundless and motionless. A few leaves that had yellowed and some seeds lay scattered around it. Just then, all of a sudden a small singing bird with yellow feathers on its wings, the goldfinch, arrived chirping. She entered the foliage like a lizard—smooth, watchful and hasty.
As she entered, the tree suddenly seemed to come alive. It started up like a machine. There were shrill sounds of twittering arid the tree seemed to quiver with joy. The mother bird was like the engine of her family. Like an engine she added life to the tree and flitted from branch to branch, showing her striped face, with yellow and black markings that were peculiar to her. Then with a mysterious, low whistle she flew off into the sky. Once again the laburnum quietened down as it was before her arrival.
