I Think That I Shall Never See...

A poem as 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.
Written By: Alfred Joyce Kilmer
