Stephan Girard Quotes and wishes: «Arbor Day»
I think that I shall never seeI think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
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 written by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer, "Trees," 1914 Quotes and wishes: «Arbor Day»
