TREES













By: Joyce Kilmer

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.
