Poem:They have Cut Down the Pines

Stanza 1
They have cut down the pines where they stood,
The wind will miss them_____ the rain,
When its silver blind is down
They have tripped the bark from the wood_
The needly boughs, and the brown
Knobby nuts trodden into the ground
In this stanza, the poetess describes the tragic sight of mutilated,lacerated and
destroyed pine trees .The poetess says that the cruel people have cut down the pine
trees.Now the heavy rain and fast blowing wind cannot find them in its place earlier,and
now all is finished.The pine trees lay dispersed on the ground.

Stanza 2
The kind and friendly trees
Where all day small winds sound
And all day long the sun
Plays hide and seek with shadows
Till the multiplying shadows turn to one
And night is here

The poetess says that these trees were friendly and kind to us.The wind passing
through the branches of trees produced a very charming sound.The Sun also play hide
and seek with the shadow of these beautiful trees The multiplying shadow of these
beautiful trees used to mingle which resulted in the falling of night.

Stanza 3

They have cut down the trees and ended now


The gentle colloquy of bough and bough
They are making a fence by creek
And have cut down the pines for the posts

The poetess says that


the cruel and merciless people have cut down the beautiful pine trees.The charming
sound of the blowing wind through the branches of the tree was just like
conversation.After cutting down the pine trees that conversation has ended and it could
not be heard anymore.People have destroyed those magnificent trees to fulfill their
needs such as making post and fences.

Stanza 4
Wan in the Sunlight for ghosts
The naked trunks lie
A bird nested there_____ it will seek
In vain they have cut down the pines

The poetess sayd that naked and lacerated trunk of the trees lie destroyed on the
ground.Their ripped trunks look pale anc weak in the sunlight earlier.There were nests
of birds in those beautiful pine trees but after cutting down the trees,the birds have lost
their habitats.The happy quivering of the birds cannot be heard anymore.
