Trees by Joyce Kilmer


I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth’s 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.

    Did Michael carve this Face or You? He reminds me of the Talking Trees in the
    ‘Wizard of Oz’; only nicer. Always makes me smile when I come across it in your photos!
