well i’m not very good at understanding poems i usually do it wrong but what i got out of this poem was that there is this girl who is super modest and whenever she is told that she is beautiful and great she always denies it.

thats what i got after i read it about like 4 times. i liked it becasuse that how many people in the world arn’t very modest anymore and this is a good definition on what modest is . what i liked most about it was the rhyme scheam it worked super well and was very unique

my favorite line was the last two lines

When all the wold conspires to praise her,
the woman’s deaf, and does not hear

i like this the best because it was very clever and i tend to be modest but this just stood out a lot to me when i was reading because it makes perfect sence.

there is 3 stanza and all talk about how great she is and how she denies it and doeesn’t realize how great she really is.

another line that i thought was super good was

an equal mixture of good-humor
and sensible soft melancholy

it just discribing a very chilled relaxed person who don’t really worry about anything very unlike me.

its just putting oposites together and and is just one big juxtaposition poem all in one. that makes perfect sence like the title of the one in our room the poison tree. all in all this was one of my favorite poems just because it was clever
