The trees are coming into leaf 

Like something almost being said;

The recent buds relax and spread,

Their greenness is a kind of grief.


Is it that they are born again

And we grow old? No, they die too.

Their yearly trick of looking new

Is written down in rings of grain.


Yet still the unresting castles thresh 

In fullgrown thickness every May.

Last year is dead, they seem to say,

Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

- First stanza is talking about the tree itself. Having said that spring is coming suggested that life is starting to bloom.
- Second stanza, author talks about his envy towards the tree. Tree is a metaphor of life and death so therefore, he is jealous of the youth and the youngers.
-Third stanza uses repetition. "Afresh, afresh, afresh." Sounded like a boring tone. This could mean he is bored and envied the new life while he grew old.]]> 2018-11-22 06:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/inclusion4/oteka7pk4ske/wish/306919742 AO2: https://padlet.com/inclusion4/oteka7pk4ske/wish/306919769 “ The trees are coming into leaf”

2. It might be representing Larkin jealousy towards the tree and wants to re-love his young life. 
3. The mood in the poem is disappointed, sad and calm. 
4. I feel like the ‘yearly trick’ is how the trees react during each seasons, they relive every new year just like reliving a moment.
5. You can reliveomments just like trees. An example of this is new year/ new year resolution. ]]> 2018-11-23 04:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/inclusion4/oteka7pk4ske/wish/307168044 ao3 https://padlet.com/inclusion4/oteka7pk4ske/wish/307168096 “rings of grain”
