Adrienne Rich’s poem ‘The Trees’

The poem “The Trees” is about the silent but powerful movement of trees from confinement back to their natural home, the forest. For a long time, the trees have been trapped inside a house, their roots struggling in cracks of the veranda floor and their branches cramped under the roof. Slowly, during the night, they free themselves, straining towards the glass and finally breaking through it. They move like patients leaving a hospital—weak but determined to regain freedom.

The poet, sitting inside and writing letters, observes this quiet revolution without mentioning it directly. The night feels alive—the moonlight, the smell of leaves, and the whispers of nature fill the air. At last, the trees escape into the open world, welcomed by the winds. The moon itself seems to shatter into pieces of light, reflecting in the crowns of the tall trees, symbolizing a new beginning.

This poem is not only about trees but also about the longing for freedom, the breaking of barriers, and the return of life to its rightful place.
