Trees
I think that I shall
never see
A poem lovely
as a tree.
A tree whose hungry
mouth is pressed
Against the earth’s sweet
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 (1913)
