Response to WHO WROTE THE POEM, TREES?

from ilza (ilza@pobox.com)
this one ? . 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 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.
