Here's Trees by Joyce Kilmer .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
Nancy
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
