Trees Poem by Joyce Kilmer
Trees
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.
Kilmer's writing style is so simple and it make me more nature friendly
Sublimely beautiful and so simple... real elegance with words. No wonder she's a master!
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; Great!
I remember this POEM from my 'Childhood School Days! ' It is simply BEAUTIFUL! ! !
I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.---Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.----What a great poem! Nature is incomparable! However man try, man can never create anything as beautiful as Nature does.
Lovely poem. Thanks Rajnish Manga for leading me to the 'trees" . You here that poets...poets are fools. If a poet be a fool then let the muse play on. Great poem.
Great commentary on the material progress made by man which has cost him so dearly. This is probably the most popular poem of Joyce Kilmer. I would like to translate it into Hindi.

So simple, so beautiful. I'm not really a nature man but I'll tip my hat next time I pass a tree.
