WHO WROTE THE POEM, TREES?
-- ROBERT C. CARTER (RCC@GVEC.NET), February 08, 1999
this one ? . TREES by Joyce KilmerI 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.
