A poem as lovely as a TREE...
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, 5
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain. 10
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

TREES~ I think that I shall never see ~ A poem lovely as a tree. ~ A tree whose hungry mouth is prest ~ Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;~ A tree that looks at God all day, ~ And lifts her leafy arms to pray;~ A tree that may in summer wear~ A nest of robins in her hair; ~ Upon whose bosom snow has lain;~ Who intimately lives with rain. ~ Poems are made by fools like me, ~ But only God can make a tree.~ Joyce Kilmer
