A Witness Tree is Frost's seventh book of poems and his first in six years. The book earned him the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The volume includes forty-two poems divided into five sections - poems like, "Never Again would the Birds' Song Be the Same," "To a Moth Seen in Winter," "The Gift Outright," and "A Nature Note." Already an established and beloved poet upon publication, the book's dust jacket correctly promised that the collection would "substantiate still further (Frost's) claim to permanence and importance."
