I think that I will never seeA poem as 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 dayAnd lifts her leaf-filled arms to pray.
A tree that may in summer wearA nest of robins in her hair.Upon whose bosom snow has lain
Who’s intimately lived with rain.Poems are made by fools like me,But only God can make a tree.
