| Notes | This poem describes the cutting down and razing of forests and woods. The speaker personifies the trees as nobles, kings, and emperors, describing their screams and wails as humanity clears them away. A poem that questions human assumptions about agency and sentience in relation to the more-than-human. It could be read in the context of the rights of nature. |
