Question

Why doesn't the poet write about a more beautiful tree such as a maple, an oak, or a pine?

✓

Answer

He has not written about a more beautiful tree such as a maple, or oak, or pine because these trees symbolise beauty and happiness. Frost wanted to symbolise the feelings of sadness and regret, which is why he has used a hemlock tree. The crow and the hemlock tree represent sorrow.
