Question

The Tree's early leaf buds were bursting their brown;
"Shall I take them away?" said the Frost, sweeping down.
"No, leave them alone
Till the blossoms have grown,"
5 Asked the Tree, while he trembled from rootlet to crown.

The Tree bore his blossoms, and all the birds sang:
"Shall I take them away?" said the Wind, as he swung.
"No, leave them alone
Till the berries have grown,"

The Tree bore his fruit in the mid-summer glow:
Said the girl, "May I gather thy berries now?"
"Yes, all thou canst see:
Take them; all are for thee,"
15 Said the Tree, while he bent down his laden boughs low.
