Joyce Kilmer
Trees
I think that I shall never see
a poem 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,
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.
