I think that I shall never see 
a poem lovely as a tree. 
A tree whose thirsty mouth is pressed 
against the earth's sweet flowering 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. 
-- Joyce Kilmer
