 ~ The speaker in the poem sees birches bending to left and right, and he likes to think that some boy has been swinging them. The association of the bent boughs of the birch trees with a boyhood game evokes a feeling of joy by reminding the poet of his own childhood days, when he used to be ‘’a swinger of birches’’. The speaker is so delighted to remember the experience of swinging on the birches that he yearns to go back to his childhood days.

“Often you must have seen them

Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning

After a rain.’’
