The Mahogany Tree
"The Mahogany Tree" is a convivial Victorian poem by William Makepeace Thackeray that conjures the warmth of companions gathered around a familiar table in midwinter. Against icy winds and life's mounting worries β debts, grief, and the passage of time β a group of friends drinks, laughs, and sings defiantly together. The poem moves between nostalgia for absent faces and a determined, boisterous joy, celebrating fellowship as the only true shelter against sorrow and mortality.
