trees i think that i shall never see
a poem lovely as a tree
a tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
against the earth’s sweet flowing breast
a tree that looks at god all day
and lifts her leafy arms to pray
tree 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
poems are made by fools like me
but only god can make a tree
i think that i shall never see
