3-LOVELIEST OF TREES, THE CHERRY NOW
REFERNCE:
These lines have been taken from the poem, ‘’Loveliest of tree, The Cherry Now’’ by A.E Housman.
CONTEXT: This poem is in praise of cherry tree covered with flowers. It is spring season. The cherry is in full bloom. The poet wants to enjoy it for seventy years but the has spent twenty years of his life. He wants to go to woods to enjoy the beauty of cherry trees.
EXPLANATION: In these lines, the poet tells us that,
The people tell us about the exotic beauty of the cherry tree. To him, this tree presents such a beauty as should be fully enjoyed, but man’s life is too short to enjoy its beauty. In fact the poet wants to draw the attention of people towards natural beauty.
