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.
