Birches deals with both simple and complex themes.
Reverie- Its major part deals with one’s reflection upon past.
Love- The speaker says that the earth is the right place for love. The major concern for him is to get away for a while but remain a part of this world because this is where only one can love.
Spirituality- Towards the end, the poet says that the birch may take us half way to heaven. The worldly matters irritates him to an extent so he seeks refuge in an inner life too.
Human affairs- the speaker want to go away for a while from all these serious chores but get down into it again to fulfil one’s responsibilities so the choice is inevitable.
