Trees by Joyce Kilmer

 

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 who looks a 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.
