for poetry lovers

Trees

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

 



A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
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

 

By Joyce Kilmer1886-1918
