Analysis of Auburn
A forest of autumn, auburn
beauty from inside, lifeless
inactive, yet a plains ahead
but still, still, inactive, red
respond! I cry, a river
it breaks the soft earth
O plains you are so beautiful,
show me the trees you hide
below the horizon, I, I, I
I cannot see them myself
must I grow my own?
But your soil is too delicate
and I fear I may harm the dewy grass,
you are blessed and sacred,
I will not curse this land auburn alike the last

About this poem
This poem details the moving-ons of a person who has departed from one tragic relationship of which he views as a result of himself to another seemingly beautiful relationship which he vows to not cause tragedy in by ironically and tragically growing no trees, which in the the case of the poet symbolises affection.
