Mišin – A. Hiiri) in 1970s. The aim of the article is to study symbols of the tree image in poetry of A. I. Mišin (O. Mišin – A. Hiiri). The article considers how the traditional representations of the Baltic-Finnish peoples about relationships between man and nature (forest) are reinterpreted in the poet’s work. The actuality and novelty of the research is that the poet’s work is studied from this point of view for the first time. The image of the tree in the poet’s lyrics takes on a symbolic meaning of renewal of life, rebirth: the lyrical hero goes into the forest, to the tree, in order to know yourself, to find peace of mind, disturbed by the chaos of everyday life. There are both generalizing images: forest, trees, and specific names of trees outlining the forest and the city skyline. The dominant image of pine is a symbol of firmness, inflexibility and loyalty. In bilingual lyrics the image of the tree acquires the meaning of the memory of generations, growing into the image of a word tree, symbolizing the return of the lyrical hero to its origins through the native language and culture.
