So I'm going to write this review without looking at any of the other comments below because I want to try and see what you were getting out and then see what others think. To me, this is a poem about a beautiful tree that loves the moonlight and is content. Animals love the tree and love resting in its limbs. But then man comes. He cuts down the tree, and the tree's "Brother's" or other trees in the forest. He lays the tree bare, and cuts down all the other trees.
The last stanza is about how people need to learn from their ways and stop ruining nature. They need to see how a like they are to everything else.
That's what I got out of it. Pretty poem; nice imagery. I'm not one for nature poems, however, but I found this poem thought provoking and that you accomplished what you were after.
