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 |
