Jim / W1FMR

Joyce Kilmer. 1886–1918 
  
119. Trees 
  
I THINK that I shall never see   
A tower lovely as a tree.   
   
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest   
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;   
   
A tree that looks at God all day,          5 
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.   10 
   
Poems are made by fools like me,   
But only God can make a tree.
