The Laburnum Top by Ted Hughes - a podcast by Arun Jee

The poet has captured the relation of birds with a tree beautifully in the poem. Before the goldfinch comes the Laburnum tree is silent. After its arrival the tree becomes 'the engine of their family'. Again with the departure of the birds it 'subsides to empty'.
