Trees

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.
