Analysis:
​ **__Poem one: "A Ballad of Trees and the Master"-__** This poem's rhyme scheme is A A B B C C C B A A B B D D D B. There is no historical context. The theme is that life is better at the beginning. The woods symbolizes your life and when death comes its time for you to leave. Going into the woods stands for being born because you go in clean.

 * ==Major Works:==

NTO the woods my Master went Clean forspent, forspent. Into the woods my Master came, Forspent with love and shame. But the olives they were not blind to Him, The little gray leaves were kind to Him: The thorn-tree had a mind to Him When into the woods He came.

 * " A Ballad of Trees and the Master" **

Out of the woods my Master went, And He was well content. Out of the woods my Master came, Content with death and shame When Death and Shame would woo Him last, From under the trees they drew Him last: 'Twas on a tree they slew Him--last When out of the woods He came. ||
