The speaker in birches dreams of climbing trees when. a) he has been injured. b) he sees an ice storm. c) life becomes too difficult. d) he watches young children doing it

C) life becomes too difficult.

The speaker of the poem dreams of climbing trees in the following lines:

So was I once myself a swinger of birches.

And so I dream of going back to be.

It’s when I’m weary of considerations,

And life is too much like a pathless wood

These lines show that the speaker dreams of going back to a time when he was a climber of trees, and when life was less complicated. He argues that sometimes life becomes like a wood without a path, and it is in those moments that he feels like going back to climbing trees.
