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.
So simple, so beautiful. I'm not really a nature man but I'll tip my hat next time I pass a tree.
Kilmer's writing style is so simple and it make me more nature friendly
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; Great!
Every single word is Perfect! Every time I read it, I cry. Just can't get over the beauty and intense love and poetry that in its verses never dies
