The beginning and the ending of the poem The Laburnum Top describe dead silence on the laburnum tree. Before the goldfinch bird appears, the laburnum tree is described as “silent, quite still in the afternoon yellow September sunlight, and few leaves yellowing, all its seeds fallen”.
When the bird appears, there is thrill, noise and life-like situation and as soon as the bird goes away, the laburnum tree subsides to empty i.e. becomes silent again. So the thrill and life on the laburnum tree depends on the movement of the goldfinch bird whose young ones are in the branches of the laburnum tree.
