There are several search results that provide information about the beginning and ending of a poem, but they all refer to the same poem, "The Laburnum Top" by Ted Hughes. According to the search results, the poem begins on a melancholic note, with the laburnum tree standing silent and still, and the leaves of the tree turning yellow and the seeds already fallen, indicating the season of autumn. The poem ends with the laburnum tree left silent once again, but this time the silence brings in a note of emptiness in the poem after all the commotion that the goldfinch causes. When the bird leaves the tree, "the laburnum subsides to empty".
