A poem lovely as a tree;
A tree whose hungry mouth is
Against the earth’s sweet flowing

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest or 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.
