Trees by Sergeant 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.
