My issue is that it's too difficult to discern the point of this poem. First we start talking about staying the course even though it's hard, and then it just moves on to comparing trees and virtues.
He has a habit of writing poems and songs whose focus and message keep wandering all over the place. Remember the song those goddamn elves sing in Eldest when Eragon first meets them, which keeps wandering between being about pretty forest imagery to Arya's loss, to bloodthirsty stuff about killing Galby? It's like, what is this thing even supposed to be about?
