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.

"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.
