    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 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.

     The poem is in the public domain.
