... The speaker has just finished picking apples for that year’s harvest, his ladder still leaning against the tree. ... His feet hurt from standing on the ladder for too long and the smell of apples is everywhere. ... The ladder, which points "toward heaven," represents the speaker’s climb through life toward death and heaven and the barrel and apples left on the tree represent things he regrets having or not having done during his lifetime. ... As he progresses through the poem, Frost keeps linking one feeling of tension to a new one, until the reader is left, having climbed to the top of a ladder of tension and gone nowhere.
