Answer:

Human beings deconstructs the beauty of nature

Explanation: Here, Freneau is very critical of human's self-obsessed and reckless nature and concerned about the Honeysuckle being the victim of human's egocentric selfish nature. Thus, he calls the human eye to be "vulgar".The poem is written in mere four stanzas of six lines each and talks about to "shun the vulgar eye" where no bypasser would be a danger to the gentle existence of the lovely flower. Towards the end he is depressed due to the autumn deciding the fate of the honeysuckle.
