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 |
