Question

What is the meaning of the word pine as it is used in the poem?

-a longing desire
-a type of tree with needles instead of leaves
-waste away

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the answer is "A type of tree with needles instead of leaves" regardless of the poem. I would encourage you to include the text a certain question is based on next time, since that would make it much easier for people to answer.

I hope this helps! <3

Answer 2

The answer may be waste away due to the fact that it is a poem talking from the pov of someone who is alive and dead.
