TREES IN THE WIND

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 initimately lives with rain.




Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
