“The Trees” by Philip Larkin The trees are coming into leaf Like something almost being said; The recent buds relax and spread‚ Their greenness is a kind of grief. Is it that they are born again And we grow old? No‚ they die too‚ Their yearly trick of looking of looking new. Is it written down in rings of grain.
