    The tone of the poem in the beginning is calm and sombre as the speaker is reflecting upon the nature of birches in winter then the tone becomes philosophical because the poet thinks of the depth beyond the apparent look of birches. The tone becomes nostalgic in the end when the poet is thinking of his own childhood and deciding the need to suspend the tension for a while to take pleasure in the beauty because the human realm is inevitable.

    The philosophy of the poem begins when it refers to how Truth breaks in to the thoughts of the speaker. It is the reality of things beyond how they may look like. The poem tells us that one should cherish the earth as a place to love, there is no better place than this. One can not go away from it or try to seek refuge. Rather, one should get away, take rest and come back again.

    The titles of the frost’s poems are always ironical. Here, Birches are the centre image because of the way the speaker thinks of them. Birches are what provoke the emotions of the speaker and put him into reverie. The run of his imagination is around the trees so the title is apt in its essence.

    Because it is personified as a human being which comes breaking into the thought process in which the poet was reflecting upon his past. When something is personified it becomes noun which needs to be capitalised.

    Birches mean literally a kind of tree which grows in the referred geography but its extended meaning is Nature and its indifference towards human beings. And yet the contact between both happens from our side.

    Swinging on Birches is a moment of recession in one’s life when one can get away from all this rigidity of life and relax for a while only to come back again and engage with the human realm.
