Lovely as a Tree

2007.12.08
Enlarge


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.
~ Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914 ~

DancingDolphin Beautiful! I'm so envious that you have snow AND blue sky! I don't think I'd mind the winter so much here if the sky ever showed through the heavy grey clouds!
