A poem lovely as a tree

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;

 

..... Joyce Kilmer

 

I think there are a couple more verses but that is all that I remember. I memorized this poem back in Grade 7 which was a long time ago! :-)
