The theme of endurance,is a constant
backdrop for many of Frost’s poems.
The speaker of “Birches” never sees a
boy or comes across one. He only
imagines one, and the boy that he does
imagine is himself at a younger age. The
boy seems to be similar to William
Wordsworth and Walt Whitman’s
portrayals of boys. These boys have
their own rules and wisdom that they
can pass on to the older men and
women around them. They are ready for
adventures in nature and represent the
wild, untamed state of “man” that
remains good and moral even though no
one is there to govern him. The
speaker’s loneliness may be the result of
adult concerns. and considerations.
