Frost’s poem reflects Romanticism because he uses the experience of apple-picking and nature imagery to symbolize the journey of life. The apples symbolize both life and death, illustrating the connection between nature and human emotions and experiences. By focusing on the natural world and its deeper meaning, Frost’s work matches the values of Romanticism.

In the quiet woods, the bird captures the essence of Romanticism. Away from society, it finds its own voice in wild nature. Its lonely song reflects the speaker's deep sadness. Whitman turns the bird into a symbol of grief, showing how nature can share in human emotion.
