1st paragraph
- rhyme scheme ABBA- regularity about the loss of trees coming
again to life
suggest its consistency of trees
- reflects cyclic nature of the trees and the awareness that death still
exists in this world of renewal and rebirth- coming into leaf every
spring only to lose their leaves in the autumn
- establish the theme of rebirth, not dwelling on the past

record on the trees rings, once they are written down it is not
possible to erase them after all (revealing the truth behind their
yearly tricks, which is the appearance of looking young, BUT
actually growing old)
irony
3rd paragraph
change in tone (from pessimistic to optimistic)
