What's new

I should never see

When I saw your title, I knew the rest of it and brought a smile to my face.
When we were very young my parents paid us a nickel to learn a poem, 15 cents for a book report, etc on our summer vacations. I learned the poem you quoted ..
Nice shot and thanks for the memories:)

Here's Trees by Joyce Kilmer .

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.


Joyce Kilmer
