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.

Poem by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)
Music written in 1922 by Oscar Rasbash
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.       Poem by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)   Music written in 1922 by Oscar Rasbash
