    Reflection on Planting a Sequoia by Dana Gioia The poem is narrated by a father who is mourning the death of his child through the planting of a sequoia tree.

Macbeth speaks a line after hearing of his wife’s death‚ comparing Lady Macbeth ’s death to a candle blown out‚ he says “Out‚ out‚ brief candle” (Kennedy and Gioia 417). The speaker tells the story in a somber and serious tone‚ almost as though he is a close observer of the events. The serene scene of the poem is set in Vermont at sunset‚ where a boy is cutting wood with a “buzz-saw” (1). When the boy’s sister
