The poet is arguing that not every picture can be described through words, but that images alone can stand on their own two feet. There is no need for an object to be described when it can be seen. Its symbolic meaning can be understood by every viewer differently. Images can also derive different feelings for all people. The poet cannot describe what the tree does because it is a challenge that is nearly impossible. The tree does not dance and the tree does not capitalize, these are merely human comparisons to something much larger.
When the Poet mentions dancing together he is actually speaking for the tree. The tree tells his human friend to dance with it in nature and in life. The tree is not actually dancing of course, however it is fulfilling its life cycle and challenging the poet to describe what he sees before him as though he was taking part in this action himself.
