Trees

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 its leafy arms to pray
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair
Upon whose bosoms snow has lain
Who intimately lives with rain
Poems are made by fools like me
But only God can make a tree.
