"Winter Trees" by William Carlos Williams

 

Winter Trees


All the complicated details

of the attiring and

the disattiring are completed!

A liquid moon

moves gently among

the long branches.

Thus having prepared their buds

against a sure winter

the wise trees

stand sleeping in the cold.


Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "Winter Trees"?


William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963)

"Winter Trees" explanation

In the poem, the speaker watches trees gain and lose their leaves as the season approaches winter and personifies them as if they are human beings getting in and out of clothes. A somewhat surreal, yet friendly and warm atmosphere shows the poet’s affinity with nature.
