What is the summary of the poem "Our Casuarina Tree" written by Toru Dutt?

At the
beginning of the poem 'The Casuarina
Tree'  the poet likens the Casuarina tree to a giant
wearing a scarf of
creeper. The creeper winds around the trunk like a python. We imagine the

tree to be very tall, as it's summit is described as 'near the stars.' The tree is
described as
being gallant, and possibly brave, as few other trees could
survive in the strangle-hold of this
creeper. The poet then goes on to
describe the life that thrives amid every facet of the tree
(the baboon in
its boughs, the crimson flowers,water lilies in its shadow.) But these are
not
the main reasons why the poet holds the tree so dear. The other is that
it holds memories of
loved ones, so strong that it brings tears to the poet's
eyes. We then hear that the tree too is
sad, and cries a lament. The poet
continues with a description of how strong the image of the
tree is, even
when in lands far away. The poet wishes to consecrate the tree's memory and

importance for the sake of those who are now dead - and looks ahead to his own death,
hoping
that the tree be spared obscurity (or that no-one will remember
it.)
