“Trees”<\/p>\n
“I think that I shall never see<\/p>\n
A poem as lovely as a tree.<\/p>\n
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed<\/p>\n
Against the sweet earth’s flowing breast;<\/p>\n
A tree that looks at God all day,<\/p>\n
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;<\/p>\n
A tree that may in summer wear<\/p>\n
A nest of robins in her hair;<\/p>\n
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;<\/p>\n
Who intimately lives with rain.<\/p>\n
Poems are made by fools like me,<\/p>\n
But only God can make a tree.”<\/p>\n
Joyce Kilmer.<\/p>\n
An American, born on December 6th, 1886, died on July 30th, 1918,<\/p>\n
in the First World War, at 31 years of age.<\/p>\n
