The word "fools" has only been used once in the poem in the second last stanza. The verse is " Poems are made by fools like me,". This verse clearly indicates that the poet is firstly calling himself a fool and also he is calling other poets a fool too. For poets can only try to praise the beauty of a tree, while it is God who makes these beautiful things of nature. According to the poet, a poem can never be as lovely as a tree itself. So it is just a foolish attempt to capture its loveliness in words.
