Poems are created by people's minds, while trees are created by God. To demonstrate his inadequacy to God's works, the poet depicts himself as a fool in the poem. God can make a tree out of fools like me. 'This statement stresses not just God's work, but also the labor of poets, placing God's work into context. It also implies that God is greater than the poet, who cannot create even a single leaf on a tree. Trees have been used for thousands of years as symbols for immortality. They provide us with food and shelter and without them we would not survive. God is infinite and perfect and he has created everything including trees. The fact that someone has been able to create a poem or a tree shows how great God is. In conclusion, the poet does not believe he is capable of creating such beautiful things as trees, but God says he can. This demonstrates that God is greater than the poet.
