Loveliest Trees

Content

• Contrast between the cherry tree and the narrator
• Cherry tree has many more seasons to bloom than the narrator does
• Narrator will however go to enjoy the cherry tree anyway: you can still enjoy others’ life, apparently, which goes against the stuff about Athletes
  • That’s what this poet is missing: the self-reflexive activity that would ask, Do you get anything from being the speaker? From having the point of view of someone looking at the dead? There is something you get from living nonetheless.
• Frostian situation, where nature has something fab to offer but you can’t enjoy it fully, being a human

Form

• Regular iambic hexameter
