As is known to all, there is a criticism of ecology of literary works is underscored, which is called Environmental Concerns:Ecocritical Landmarks, Textmarks, Benchmarks (Morrison, 2002). Deprived from the concern for the current research, one of Ezra Pound’s poems has been winnowed, it is a poem deplete with the milieu of nature and women, and originated from the version of “ The Tree” (1915), from Ezra Pound (Pound, 1957). On the point of creating this paper, the researcher utilizes the method of description and analysis, among which, the potential method of ecocriticism is adopted. Through a close reading of the clear and graceful lines in the poem, a strong ecological concern for women and nature is showed. And meanwhile, the poet has utilized the skillful writing of description, metaphor and other techniques in this poem to express the thinking of the unity of heaven and human and the integration of nature. The outcomes state that Ezra Pound has made full use of various conceptions and thinkings in the writing of environmental vision, including the intertwining and unity of human and environment. In the first place, his environmental vision is rich and comprehensive, which is echoed in his realistic living environment and the vivid writing of nature in the poetic writing. What’s more, the expression of poetry is interpreted, and the poet combines the idea of being interlinked with nature in his poetry. To some extent, it evokes contemporary people’s awareness of the ecological environment, and even their sensitivity to the current social and environmental problems, along with the link between nature and literature.
