Stripped of its summer wealth

Question

Stripped of its summer wealth

can the bough be wan as a root
go dingy in spells of frost
untrimmed of its bird its fruit?

no- trees go wild at the thougt
they know what they meant to do
wild trees, gone out of your head
do you burn to go sout too?

what is the figure of speech used in the second stanza. Thanks

Answer 1

I just answered that one below.

Answer 2

I would say personification.

Answer 3

The figure of speech used in the second stanza is a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a figure of speech where a question is asked, not to elicit an answer, but to make a point or to create emphasis. In this case, the speaker is not seeking an answer from the trees; rather, they are making a statement about the trees' intentions and desires.
